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.

They +then call the MEDIA_IOC_SETUP_LINK ioctl with a pointer to that +structure. + +The only configurable property is the ``ENABLED`` link flag to +enable/disable a link. Links marked with the ``IMMUTABLE`` link flag can +not be enabled or disabled. + +Link configuration has no side effect on other links. If an enabled link +at the sink pad prevents the link from being enabled, the driver returns +with an ``EBUSY`` error code. + +Only links marked with the ``DYNAMIC`` link flag can be enabled/disabled +while streaming media data. Attempting to enable or disable a streaming +non-dynamic link will return an ``EBUSY`` error code. + +If the specified link can't be found the driver returns with an ``EINVAL`` +error code. + + +Return Value +============ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the +:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter. + +EINVAL + The struct :c:type:`media_link_desc` references a + non-existing link, or the link is immutable and an attempt to modify + its configuration was made. |
