The prominent media changes for Linux 3.20 include:
- A new platform driver for the Texas Instruments am437x.
- A new "toptek" web camera driver.
- The img-ir driver has support for new remoter controller hardware protocols.
- Removal of some old media drivers, including webcam drivers for devices on parallel ports: "a few very old drivers that relies on old kABIs and are for very hard to find hardware: parallel port webcam drivers (bw-qcam, c-cam, pms and w9966), tlg2300, Video In/Out for SGI (vino)." The USB Telegnet tlg2300 driver was also nuked.
- Improvements to the rtl2832, cx28521, and au0828 drivers. There's also new pixel formats and improvements/fixes to other media-related code.
