2020-02-24media: rename VFL_TYPE_GRABBER to _VIDEOHans Verkuil1-2/+2
We currently have the following devnode types: enum vfl_devnode_type { VFL_TYPE_GRABBER = 0, VFL_TYPE_VBI, VFL_TYPE_RADIO, VFL_TYPE_SUBDEV, VFL_TYPE_SDR, VFL_TYPE_TOUCH, VFL_TYPE_MAX /* Shall be the last one */ }; They all make sense, except for the first: GRABBER really refers to /dev/videoX devices, which can be capture, output or m2m, so 'grabber' doesn't even refer to their function anymore. Let's call a spade a spade and rename this to VFL_TYPE_VIDEO.

2019-08-15media: v4l: Documentation: Serial busses use parallel mbus codesSakari Ailus1-0/+7
When the support for serial busses was introduced in V4L2, it was decided to use the existing parallel bus media bus pixel codes to describe them. While this was a practical choice at the time, it necessitates choosing which one of the many parallel mbus pixel codes to use, for on the serial busses these formats are effectively all equivalent. The practice has always been to use the pixel code that describes a bus that transfers a single sample per clock. Document this.

2019-04-22media: Media Device Allocator APIShuah Khan1-0/+41
Media Device Allocator API to allows multiple drivers share a media device. This API solves a very common use-case for media devices where one physical device (an USB stick) provides both audio and video. When such media device exposes a standard USB Audio class, a proprietary Video class, two or more independent drivers will share a single physical USB bridge. In such cases, it is necessary to coordinate access to the shared resource. Using this API, drivers can allocate a media device with the shared struct device as the key. Once the media device is allocated by a driver, other drivers can get a reference to it. The media device is released when all the references are released.

The latest versions of Google camera and codec HAL depends on such feature. At this stage, it supports only stateless codecs. It has been discussed for a long time (at least over the last 3-4 years), and we finally reached to something that seem to work. This series contain both the API and core changes required to support it and a new m2m decoder driver (cedrus). As the current API is still experimental, the only real driver using it (cedrus) was added at staging[1]. We intend to keep it there for a while, in order to test the API. Only when we're sure that this API works for other cases (like encoders), we'll move this driver out of staging and set the API into a stone. [1] We added support for the vivid virtual driver (used only for testing) to it too, as it makes easier to test the API for the ones that don't have the cedrus hardware" * tag 'media/v4.20-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (53 commits) media: dt-bindings: Document the Rockchip VPU bindings media: platform: Add Cedrus VPU decoder driver media: dt-bindings: media: Document bindings for the Cedrus VPU driver media: v4l: Add definition for the Sunxi tiled NV12 format media: v4l: Add definitions for MPEG-2 slice format and metadata media: videobuf2-core: Rework and rename helper for request buffer count media: v4l2-ctrls.c: initialize an error return code with zero media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: add missing documentation for a field media: media-request: update documentation media: media-request: EPERM -> EACCES/EBUSY media: v4l2-ctrls: improve media_request_(un)lock_for_update media: v4l2-ctrls: use media_request_(un)lock_for_access media: media-request: add media_request_(un)lock_for_access media: vb2: set reqbufs/create_bufs capabilities media: videodev2.h: add new capabilities for buffer types media: buffer.rst: only set V4L2_BUF_FLAG_REQUEST_FD for QBUF media: v4l2-ctrls: return -EACCES if request wasn't completed media: media-request: return -EINVAL for invalid request_fds media: vivid: add request support media: vivid: add mc ...
