[media] v4l: doc: Remove row numbers from tables
Shorten the tables by removing row numbers in comments, allowing for later insertion of rows with minimal diffs.

- control, or the validation step failed (see below), then
- ``error_idx`` is set to ``count``. The value is undefined if the

-
- Before controls are read from/written to hardware a validation
- step takes place: this checks if all controls in the list are
- valid controls, if no attempt is made to write to a read-only
- control or read from a write-only control, and any other up-front
- checks that can be done without accessing the hardware. The exact

- make a best-effort to do as many up-front checks as possible.
-
- This check is done to avoid leaving the hardware in an
- inconsistent state due to easy-to-avoid problems. But it leads to
- another problem: the application needs to know whether an error
- came from the validation step (meaning that the hardware was not
- touched) or from an error during the actual reading from/writing
- to hardware.
-
- The, in hindsight quite poor, solution for that is to set
- ``error_idx`` to ``count`` if the validation failed. This has the
- unfortunate side-effect that it is not possible to see which
- control failed the validation. If the validation was successful
- and the error happened while accessing the hardware, then
- ``error_idx`` is less than ``count`` and only the controls up to
- ``error_idx-1`` were read or written correctly, and the state of
- the remaining controls is undefined.
-
- Since :ref:`VIDIOC_TRY_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` does not access hardware there is
- also no need to handle the validation step in this special way, so
