Hans Verkuil has dropped the overlay support for BTTV TV cards. That means, that tvtime doesn't work anymore.

Hans Verkuil wrote: Destructive overlay support (i.e. where the video frame is DMA-ed
straight into a framebuffer) is effectively dead. It was a
necessary evil in the early days when computers were not fast enough
to copy SDTV video frames around, but today that's no longer a problem.

It requires access to the framebuffer memory, which is a bad idea and
very hard to do safely. In addition, in drm it is today almost
impossible to get hold of the framebuffer address.

So drop support for this.

bttv: drop overlay support

I reported this issue to the kernel developers today.
