media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/media
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API,
created by changeset 1d596dee38
("docs: Create a user-space API guide").
As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use
Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate
place.
Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether
will likely make things easier for developers.

Introduction
|
||||
************
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, most analog and digital devices have a Infrared input for
|
||||
remote controllers. Each manufacturer has their own type of control. It
|
||||
is not rare for the same manufacturer to ship different types of
|
||||
controls, depending on the device.
|
||||
|
||||
A Remote Controller interface is mapped as a normal evdev/input
|
||||
interface, just like a keyboard or a mouse. So, it uses all ioctls
|
||||
already defined for any other input devices.
|
||||
|
||||
However, remove controllers are more flexible than a normal input
|
||||
device, as the IR receiver (and/or transmitter) can be used in
|
||||
conjunction with a wide variety of different IR remotes.
|
||||
|
||||
In order to allow flexibility, the Remote Controller subsystem allows
|
||||
controlling the RC-specific attributes via
|
||||
:ref:`the sysfs class nodes <remote_controllers_sysfs_nodes>`.
