This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.
Thanks,
Kay

The rest of V4L files.
There is one list_for_each+list_entry in cpia_pp.c that
wasn't changed because it expects the loop iterator to remain NULL if
the list is empty.
A bug in vivi is fixed; the 'safe' version needs to be used because the loop
deletes the list entries.
Simplify a second loop in vivi and get rid if an un-used variable in that loop.

This functionality was used when remote control input for BTTV was handled
by a standalone module, to hook some functions of that module into the main
bttv core.
Since that module is now extinct, this can go away
