From d26a5d4350fd234c1f35d8b262527c8cb97c630d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2016 07:20:06 -0300 Subject: [media] doc-rst: Convert media API to rst Move the contents of the media section at DocBooks/DocBook/device-drivers.tmpl to a new ReST book. For now, the contents is kept as-is. Next patches will fix the warnings and add cross-references that were removed due to the conversion.
