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.

TODO: replace it to GFDL-1.1-or-later WITH no-invariant-sections + +.. _touch: + +************* +Touch Devices +************* + +Touch devices are accessed through character device special files named +``/dev/v4l-touch0`` to ``/dev/v4l-touch255`` with major number 81 and +dynamically allocated minor numbers 0 to 255. + +Overview +======== + +Sensors may be Optical, or Projected Capacitive touch (PCT). + +Processing is required to analyse the raw data and produce input events. In +some systems, this may be performed on the ASIC and the raw data is purely a +side-channel for diagnostics or tuning. In other systems, the ASIC is a simple +analogue front end device which delivers touch data at high rate, and any touch +processing must be done on the host. + +For capacitive touch sensing, the touchscreen is composed of an array of +horizontal and vertical conductors (alternatively called rows/columns, X/Y +lines, or tx/rx). Mutual Capacitance measured is at the nodes where the +conductors cross. Alternatively, Self Capacitance measures the signal from each +column and row independently. + +A touch input may be determined by comparing the raw capacitance measurement to +a no-touch reference (or "baseline") measurement: + +Delta = Raw - Reference + +The reference measurement takes account of variations in the capacitance across +the touch sensor matrix, for example manufacturing irregularities, +environmental or edge effects. + +Querying Capabilities +===================== + +Devices supporting the touch interface set the ``V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE`` flag +and the ``V4L2_CAP_TOUCH`` flag in the ``capabilities`` field of +:c:type:`v4l2_capability` returned by the +:ref:`VIDIOC_QUERYCAP` ioctl. + +At least one of the read/write or streaming I/O methods must be +supported. + +The formats supported by touch devices are documented in +:ref:`Touch Formats <tch-formats>`. + +Data Format Negotiation +======================= + +A touch device may support any I/O method. |
