From 17611d3fb4a11ec500c49cb952faf09e114a5a10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hans Verkuil Date: Thu, 18 Aug 2022 09:51:40 +0200 Subject: media: videodev2.h: drop V4L2_CAP_ASYNCIO The V4L2_CAP_ASYNCIO capability was never implemented (and in fact it isn't clear what it was supposed to do in the first place). Drop it from the capabilities list. Keep it in videodev2.h with the other defines under ifndef __KERNEL__ for backwards compatibility. This will free up a capability bit for other future uses. And having an unused and undefined I/O method is just plain confusing.
