Normally the parent device of v4l2_device is used as the video device
node's parent. But if it was not set, then use the parent field in the
video_device struct.
This is needed in the cx88 driver, which has one core v4l2_device but
creates multiple pci devices (one each for raw and mpeg video).
So you cannot associate the core v4l2_device with a particular PCI device,
but you can do that for each video_device.

Emphasize the need to call i2c_set_adapdata and clarify the use of the
chipid in v4l2_i2c_new_(probed_)device().

Remain consistent in the naming: fields pointing to v4l2_device should
be called v4l2_dev. There are too many device-like entities without
adding to the confusion by mixing naming conventions.

Some drivers (e.g. for ISA devices) have no parent device because there
is no associated bus driver. Allow the parent device to be NULL in
those cases when registering v4l2_device.

Documents the driver usage functions, instead of the generic one used
by the videobuf specific handlers.

Since the i2c driver ID will be removed in the near future we have to
modify the v4l2 debugging API to use the driver name instead of driver ID.
Note that this API is not used in applications other than v4l2-dbg.cpp
as it is for debugging and testing only.
Should anyone use the old VIDIOC_G_CHIP_IDENT, then this will be logged
with a warning that it is deprecated and will be removed in 2.6.30.
