From bcdb9040df9e1e2a16252791c43f9c40c2927dd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Javier Martinez Canillas Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 13:56:08 -0300 Subject: [media] DocBook: mention the memory type to be set for all streaming I/O The DMA buffer importing streaming I/O section mentions the memory type value that has to be set when calling the VIDIOC_REQBUFS ioctl but this isn't mentioned in neither the Memory Mapping nor User Pointer sections. A user can know the values by looking at the examples but it's better to explicitly mention in the documentation, and also makes all sections about streaming I/O methods more consistent.
