From e3b1b4e732e18befcfa428bac1c487f681fbc36a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 11:14:39 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [media] DocBook: various updates w.r.t. v4l2_buffer and multiplanar Clarify the behavior of v4l2_buffer in the multiplanar case, including fixing a false statement: you can't set m.planes to NULL when calling DQBUF.
