Merge tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
- Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and
userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon);
- The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select
drivers and their dependencies;
- The testing drivers now has a separate directory;
- added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP;
- The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with
4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell
phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and
making it in good shape.
- Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs;
- Added an ov2740 image sensor driver;
- The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added
support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog
standards;
- Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and
V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera
is located at the device;
- VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices;
- Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups.

Unlike ``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_SOURCE_CLASS``, the +controls in this class affect processing the image, and do not control +capturing of it. + + +.. _image-process-control-id: + +Image Process Control IDs +========================= + +``V4L2_CID_IMAGE_PROC_CLASS (class)`` + The IMAGE_PROC class descriptor. + +``V4L2_CID_LINK_FREQ (integer menu)`` + Data bus frequency. Together with the media bus pixel code, bus type + (clock cycles per sample), the data bus frequency defines the pixel + rate (``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE``) in the pixel array (or possibly + elsewhere, if the device is not an image sensor). The frame rate can + be calculated from the pixel clock, image width and height and + horizontal and vertical blanking. While the pixel rate control may + be defined elsewhere than in the subdev containing the pixel array, + the frame rate cannot be obtained from that information. This is + because only on the pixel array it can be assumed that the vertical + and horizontal blanking information is exact: no other blanking is + allowed in the pixel array. The selection of frame rate is performed + by selecting the desired horizontal and vertical blanking. The unit + of this control is Hz. + +``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE (64-bit integer)`` + Pixel rate in the source pads of the subdev. This control is + read-only and its unit is pixels / second. + +``V4L2_CID_TEST_PATTERN (menu)`` + Some capture/display/sensor devices have the capability to generate + test pattern images. These hardware specific test patterns can be + used to test if a device is working properly. + +``V4L2_CID_DEINTERLACING_MODE (menu)`` + The video deinterlacing mode (such as Bob, Weave, ...). The menu items are + driver specific and are documented in :ref:`uapi-v4l-drivers`. + +``V4L2_CID_DIGITAL_GAIN (integer)`` + Digital gain is the value by which all colour components + are multiplied by. Typically the digital gain applied is the + control value divided by e.g. 0x100, meaning that to get no + digital gain the control value needs to be 0x100. The no-gain + configuration is also typically the default. |
