When using a typedef function like this one:
typedef bool v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, void * handle);
The Sphinx C domain expects it to create a c:type: reference,
as that's the way it creates the type references when parsing
a c:function:: declaration.
So, a declaration like:
.. c:function:: bool v4l2_valid_dv_timings (const struct v4l2_dv_timings * t, const struct v4l2_dv_timings_cap * cap, v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc fnc, void * fnc_handle)
Will create a cross reference for :c:type:`v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc`.
So, when outputting such typedefs in RST format, we need to handle
this special case, as otherwise it will produce those warnings:
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:43: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:60: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc
./include/media/v4l2-dv-timings.h:81: WARNING: c:type reference target not found: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc

.. c:type:: v4l2_check_dv_timings_fnc

**Definition**
::
struct v4l2_prio_state {
atomic_t prios[4];

**Members**
``atomic_t prios[4]``

Putting a member name in verbatim and adding a continuation line
causes the LaTeX output to generate something like:
item[atomic_t prios\[4\]] array with elements to store the array priorities
Everything inside "item" is non-breakable, with may produce
lines bigger than the column width.
Also, for function members, like:
int (* rx_read) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num);
It puts the name of the member at the end, like:
int (*) (struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u8 *buf, size_t count,ssize_t *num) read
With is very confusing.
The best is to highlight what really matters: the member name.
is a secondary information.
So, change kernel-doc, for it to produce the output on a different way:
**Members**
``prios[4]``
array with elements to store the array priorities
Also, as the type is not part of LaTeX "item[]", LaTeX will split it into
multiple lines, if needed.
So, both LaTeX/PDF and HTML outputs will look good.
It should be noticed, however, that the way Sphinx LaTeX output handles
things like:
Foo
bar
is different than the HTML output. On HTML, it will produce something
like:
**Foo**
bar

Moved the *duplicate C object description* warnings for function
declarations in the nitpicky mode. In nitpick mode, you can suppress
those warnings (e.g. ioctl) with::
nitpicky = True
nitpick_ignore = [
("c:func", "ioctl"),
]
See Sphinx documentation for the config values for ``nitpick`` and
``nitpick_ignore`` [1].
With this change all the ".. cpp:function:: int ioctl(..)" descriptions
(found in the media book) can be migrated to ".. c:function:: int
ioctl(..)", without getting any warnings. E.g.::
.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )
.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )
The main effect, is that we get those *CPP-types* back into Sphinx's C-
namespace and we need no longer to distinguish between c/cpp references,
when we refer a function like the ioctl.

This patch series fix Sphinx to allow it to build the media

The first patch is actually a bug fix: one of the previous patch
broke compilation for PDF as a hole, as it added an extra
parenthesis to a function call.
The second patch just removes a left over code for rst2pdf.

I think this patch series belong to docs-next. Feel free to merge

With this, the Documentation/conf.py is read first and updated with the
configuration values from the Documentation/media/conf_nitpick.py.
The origin media/conf_nitpick.py comes from Mauro's experimental
docs-next branch::
https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/experimental.git mchehab/docs-next
BTW fixed python indentation in media/conf_nitpick.py. Python
indentation is 4 spaces [1] and Python 3 disallows mixing the use of
tabs and spaces for indentation [2].

doc-rst: generic way to build only sphinx sub-folders
Add a generic way to build only a reST sub-folder with or
without a individual *build-theme*.
* control *sub-folders* by environment SPHINXDIRS
* control *build-theme* by environment SPHINX_CONF
Folders with a conf.py file, matching $(srctree)/Documentation/*/conf.py
can be build and distributed *stand-alone*. E.g. to compile only the
html of 'media' and 'gpu' folder use::
make SPHINXDIRS="media gpu" htmldocs
To use an additional sphinx-build configuration (*build-theme*) set the
name of the configuration file to SPHINX_CONF. E.g. to compile only the
html of 'media' with the *nit-picking* build use::
make SPHINXDIRS=media SPHINX_CONF=conf_nitpick.py htmldocs
With this, the Documentation/conf.py is read first and updated with the
configuration values from the Documentation/media/conf_nitpick.py.

Documentation: exclude media documentation from pdf generation
Although pdflatex is more robust than rst2pdf, building media
documentation pdf still fails. Exclude media documentation from pdf
generation for now.

Documentation: switch to pdflatex for pdf generation
Looks like rst2pdf is not robust enough, especially for large documents.
Use recursive make on the Sphinx generated makefile to convert latex to
pdf. The ugly detail is that pdf is generated into
Documentation/output/latex.
Unfortunately, the pdflatex build generates huge amounts of build log
noise, and also fails in the end. We'll fix that next.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull more block fixes from Jens Axboe:
"As mentioned in the pull the other day, a few more fixes for this
round, all related to the bio op changes in this series.
Two fixes, and then a cleanup, renaming bio->bi_rw to bio->bi_opf. I
wanted to do that change right after or right before -rc1, so that
risk of conflict was reduced. I just rebased the series on top of
current master, and no new ->bi_rw usage has snuck in"
