Most V4L2 drivers store the v4l2_fh pointer in file->private_data. The hdpvr driver instead stores the pointer to the driver-specific structure that embeds the v4l2_fh. Switch to storing the v4l2_fh pointer itself to standardize behaviour across drivers. This also prepares for future refactoring that depends on v4l2_fh being stored in private_data. No extensive driver refactoring is required, as file->private_data is only used to check if a file handle is the owner of the device by comparing pointer values. The private_data pointer is actually compared to a struct v4l2_fh pointer, which happens to be the first field of the hdpvr_fh structure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
