The v4l2_mbus_pixelcode enum (or its values) should be replaced by the
media_bus_format enum.
Keep this enum in v4l2-mediabus.h and create a new header containing
the v4l2_mbus_framefmt struct definition (which is not deprecated) so
that we can add a #warning statement in v4l2-mediabus.h and hopefully
encourage users to move to the new definitions.

Replace inclusion of v4l2-mediabus.h with v4l2-mbus.h in all common headers
and update the documentation Makefile to parse v4l2-mbus.h instead of
v4l2-mediabus.h.

I would keep the original file name, even if the compatibility definitions
are there. I don't see any harm in having them around as well.

That's the part I was not sure about.
The goal of this patch (and the following ones) is to deprecate
v4l2_mbus_pixelcode enum and its values by adding a #warning when
v4l2-mediabus.h file is included, thus encouraging people to use new
definitions.

Do you see another solution to generate such warnings at compilation
time ?
