Merge tag 'media/v6.9-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - DVB budget legacy API was finally documented. It took only 20+ years to get some documentation about it... - hantro driver has gained support for STM32MP25 VDEC/VENC - rkisp1 has gained support for i.MX8MP - atomisp got rid of two items from its todo list. Still 5 items pending for moving it out of staging - lots of driver fixes, cleanups and improvements * tag 'media/v6.9-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (252 commits) media: rcar-isp: Disallow unbind of devices media: usbtv: Remove useless locks in usbtv_video_free() media: mediatek: vcodec: avoid -Wcast-function-type-strict warning media: ttpci: fix two memleaks in budget_av_attach media: go7007: fix a memleak in go7007_load_encoder media: dvb-frontends: avoid stack overflow warnings with clang media: pvrusb2: fix uaf in pvr2_context_set_notify media: usb: s2255: Refactor s2255_get_fx2fw media: ti: j721e-csi2rx: Convert to platform remove callback returning void media: stm32-dcmipp: Convert to platform remove callback returning void media: nxp: imx8-isi: Convert to platform remove callback returning void media: nuvoton: Convert to platform remove callback returning void media: chips-media: wave5: Convert to platform remove callback returning void media: chips-media: wave5: Remove unnecessary semicolons media: i2c: imx290: Fix IMX920 typo media: platform: replace of_graph_get_next_endpoint() media: i2c: replace of_graph_get_next_endpoint() media: ivsc: csi: Make use of sub-device state media: ivsc: csi: Swap SINK and SOURCE pads media: ipu-bridge: Serialise calls to IPU bridge init ...
