I can improve the comment about the ADV7180: it is not clear why I'm
removing that functions. (and the memory allocator commit is also in the
todo list).

The STA2X11_VIP commit, I think is clear, I convert it to use videobu2
and control framework. I can add some extra lines to explain why:
because videobuf is obsolete

The actual code is the same of the previous one with yours (plural)
suggestions from the RFC submission (few week ago). I did not write
anything else.
