media: platform: davinci: drop VPFE_CMD_S_CCDC_RAW_PARAMS
drop VPFE_CMD_S_CCDC_RAW_PARAMS ioctl from dm355/dm644x following reasons: - This ioctl was never in public api and was only defined in kernel header. - The function set_params constantly mixes up pointers and phys_addr_t numbers. - This is part of a 'VPFE_CMD_S_CCDC_RAW_PARAMS' ioctl command that is described as an 'experimental ioctl that will change in future kernels'. - The code to allocate the table never gets called after we copy_from_user the user input over the kernel settings, and then compare them for inequality. - We then go on to use an address provided by user space as both the __user pointer for input and pass it through phys_to_virt to come up with a kernel pointer to copy the data to. This looks like a trivially exploitable root hole.
