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. * tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (503 commits) media: Documentation: media: Refer to mbus format documentation from CSI-2 docs media: s5k5baf: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array media: i2c: imx219: Drop <linux/clk-provider.h> and <linux/clkdev.h> media: i2c: Add ov2740 image sensor driver media: ov8856: Implement sensor module revision identification media: ov8856: Add devicetree support media: dt-bindings: ov8856: Document YAML bindings media: dvb-usb: Add Cinergy S2 PCIe Dual Port support media: dvbdev: Fix tuner->demod media controller link media: dt-bindings: phy: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: move rockchip dphy rx0 bindings out of staging media: staging: dt-bindings: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: remove non-used reg property media: atomisp: unify the version for isp2401 a0 and b0 versions media: atomisp: update TODO with the current data media: atomisp: adjust some code at sh_css that could be broken media: atomisp: don't produce errs for ignored IRQs media: atomisp: print IRQ when debugging media: atomisp: isp_mmu: don't use kmem_cache media: atomisp: add a notice about possible leak resources media: atomisp: disable the dynamic and reserved pools media: atomisp: turn on camera before setting it ...

+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.
