[media] v4l2-event.rst: add text from v4l2-framework.rst

Move the v4l2 event-specific text from v4l2-framework.rst
to v4l2-event.rst. That helps to keep the text together with
the functions it describes, and makes easier to identify
documentation gaps.

+V4L2 events
+-----------
+
+The V4L2 events provide a generic way to pass events to user space.
+The driver must use v4l2_fh to be able to support V4L2 events.
+
+Events are defined by a type and an optional ID. The ID may refer to a V4L2
+object such as a control ID. If unused, then the ID is 0.
+
+When the user subscribes to an event the driver will allocate a number of
+kevent structs for that event. So every (type, ID) event tuple will have
+its own set of kevent structs. This guarantees that if a driver is generating
+lots of events of one type in a short time, then that will not overwrite
+events of another type.
+
+But if you get more events of one type than the number of kevents that were
+reserved, then the oldest event will be dropped and the new one added.
+
+Furthermore, the internal struct v4l2_subscribed_event has merge() and
+replace() callbacks which drivers can set. These callbacks are called when
+a new event is raised and there is no more room. The replace() callback
+allows you to replace the payload of the old event with that of the new event,
+merging any relevant data from the old payload into the new payload that
+replaces it. It is called when this event type has only one kevent struct
+allocated. The merge() callback allows you to merge the oldest event payload
+into that of the second-oldest event payload. It is called when there are two
+or more kevent structs allocated.
+
+This way no status information is lost, just the intermediate steps leading
+up to that state.
+
+A good example of these replace/merge callbacks is in v4l2-event.c:
+ctrls_replace() and ctrls_merge() callbacks for the control event.
+
+Note: these callbacks can be called from interrupt context, so they must be
+fast.
+
+Useful functions:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+       void v4l2_event_queue(struct video_device *vdev, const struct v4l2_event *ev)
+
+  Queue events to video device. The driver's only responsibility is to fill
+  in the type and the data fields. The other fields will be filled in by
+  V4L2.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+       int v4l2_event_subscribe(struct v4l2_fh *fh,
+                                struct v4l2_event_subscription *sub, unsigned elems,
+                                const struct v4l2_subscribed_event_ops *ops)
+
+  The video_device->ioctl_ops->vidioc_subscribe_event must check the driver
+  is able to produce events with specified event id. Then it calls
+  v4l2_event_subscribe() to subscribe the event.
+
+  The elems argument is the size of the event queue for this event. If it is 0,
+  then the framework will fill in a default value (this depends on the event
+  type).
+
+  The ops argument allows the driver to specify a number of callbacks:
+  * add:     called when a new listener gets added (subscribing to the same
+             event twice will only cause this callback to get called once)
+  * del:     called when a listener stops listening
+  * replace: replace event 'old' with event 'new'.
+  * merge:   merge event 'old' into event 'new'.
+  All 4 callbacks are optional, if you don't want to specify any callbacks
+  the ops argument itself maybe NULL.

+                                  struct v4l2_event_subscription *sub)
+
+  vidioc_unsubscribe_event in struct v4l2_ioctl_ops. A driver may use
+  v4l2_event_unsubscribe() directly unless it wants to be involved in
+  unsubscription process.
+
+  The special type V4L2_EVENT_ALL may be used to unsubscribe all events. The
+  drivers may want to handle this in a special way.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+       int v4l2_event_pending(struct v4l2_fh *fh)
+
+  Returns the number of pending events. Useful when implementing poll.
+
+Events are delivered to user space through the poll system call. The driver
+can use v4l2_fh->wait (a wait_queue_head_t) as the argument for poll_wait().
+
+There are standard and private events. New standard events must use the
+smallest available event type. The drivers must allocate their events from
+their own class starting from class base. Class base is
+V4L2_EVENT_PRIVATE_START + n * 1000 where n is the lowest available number.
+The first event type in the class is reserved for future use, so the first
+available event type is 'class base + 1'.
+
+An example on how the V4L2 events may be used can be found in the OMAP
+3 ISP driver (drivers/media/platform/omap3isp).
+
+A subdev can directly send an event to the v4l2_device notify function with
+V4L2_DEVICE_NOTIFY_EVENT. This allows the bridge to map the subdev that sends
+the event to the video node(s) associated with the subdev that need to be
+informed about such an event.
