<id>ba07fd2f5742e8b0d965003b34c7a44eb4f67e53</id>
<content type='text'>
Add an in-tree AVMatrix HWS PCIe capture driver. The driver supports
up to four HDMI inputs and exposes the video capture path through
V4L2 with vb2-dma-contig streaming, DV timings, and per-input
controls. Audio support is intentionally omitted from this
submission.

This patch also adds the MAINTAINERS entry for the new driver.

This driver is derived from a GPL out-of-tree driver.

Changes since v6:
- v6 accidently contained legacy history, resubmitting with latest
- remove an unused mode-change label reported by W=1

Changes since v5:
- keep queue_setup() and alloc_sizeimage on the logical sizeimage value
- drop the dead queue_setup() fallback that rebuilt pix.sizeimage
  on the fly
- clarify that hws_calc_sizeimage() models the packed-YUYV-only path
- add Assisted-by attribution for Codex

Changes since v4:
- replace plain 64-bit elapsed-time divisions in debug logging with
  div_u64() so i386 module builds do not emit __udivdi3 references

Changes since v3:
- fold the MAINTAINERS update into this patch so per-patch CI sees the
  new file pattern
- wrap the validation text for checkpatch

Changes since v2:
- keep scratch DMA allocation on a single probe-owned path
- avoid double-freeing V4L2 control handlers on register unwind
- drop the extra per-node resolution sysfs ABI
- turn live geometry changes into explicit SOURCE_CHANGE renegotiation
- report live DV timings and reject attempts to retime a live source
- stop advertising RESOLUTION source changes for fps-only updates
- keep live fps state across harmless S_FMT restarts
- stop exposing an unvalidated DV RX power-present signal
- clean the imported sources for checkpatch and W=1 builds

Validation:
- build-tested with W=1 against a local kernel build tree
- compiled the driver with ARCH=i386 allmodconfig and verified the
  resulting hws_pci.o, hws_video.o, and hws.o do not reference
  __udivdi3
- v4l2-compliance 1.33.0-5459 from v4l-utils commit
  4a0d2c3b4f523406cb9a6f4c541ef14f72f19f3d on /dev/video2:
  48 tests succeeded, 0 failed, 1 warning

DV_RX_POWER_PRESENT is intentionally left unsupported in this revision
because current hardware evidence does not expose a validated
receiver-side power-detect signal distinct from active video presence.

Digiteq Automotive MGB4 is a modular frame grabber PCIe card for automotive
video interfaces. As for now, two modules - FPD-Link and GMSL - are
available and supported by the driver. The card has two inputs and two
outputs (FPD-Link only).

In addition to the video interfaces it also provides a trigger signal
interface and a MTD interface for FPGA firmware upload.

cio2 bridge was involved along with IPU3. However, in fact all Intel IPUs
besides IPU3 CIO2 need this bridge driver. This patch move bridge driver
out of ipu3 directory and rename as ipu-bridge. Then it can be worked with
IPU3 and other Intel IPUs.

Deprecate the hexium_gemini, hexium_orion, mxb and ttpci saa7146-based
drivers: these drivers do not use the vb2 framework for video streaming,
instead it uses the old videobuf framework.

We want to get rid of these old drivers, so deprecated these for future
removal.

<title>media: Kconfig: cleanup VIDEO_DEV dependencies</title>
<updated>2022-03-18T04:58:35+00:00</updated>

<name>Mauro Carvalho Chehab</name>
<email>mchehab@kernel.org</email>
</author>
<published>2022-03-13T06:25:46+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=9958d30f38b96fb763a10d44d18ddad39127d5f4'/>
<id>9958d30f38b96fb763a10d44d18ddad39127d5f4</id>
<content type='text'>
media Kconfig has two entries associated to V4L API:
VIDEO_DEV and VIDEO_V4L2.

On Kernel 2.6.x, there were two V4L APIs, each one with its own flag.
VIDEO_DEV were meant to:
	1) enable Video4Linux and make its Kconfig options to appear;
	2) it makes the Kernel build the V4L core.

while VIDEO_V4L2 where used to distinguish between drivers that
implement the newer API and drivers that implemented the former one.

With time, such meaning changed, specially after the removal of
all V4L version 1 drivers.

At the current implementation, VIDEO_DEV only does (1): it enables
the media options related to V4L, that now has:

	menu "Video4Linux options"
		visible if VIDEO_DEV

	source "drivers/media/v4l2-core/Kconfig"
	endmenu

but it doesn't affect anymore the V4L core drivers.

The rationale is that the V4L2 core has a "soft" dependency
at the I2C bus, and now requires to select a number of other
Kconfig options:

	config VIDEO_V4L2
		tristate
		depends on (I2C || I2C=n) &amp;&amp; VIDEO_DEV
		select RATIONAL
		select VIDEOBUF2_V4L2 if VIDEOBUF2_CORE
		default (I2C || I2C=n) &amp;&amp; VIDEO_DEV

In the past, merging them would be tricky, but it seems that it is now
possible to merge those symbols, in order to simplify V4L dependencies.

Let's keep VIDEO_DEV, as this one is used on some make *defconfig
configurations.

media Kconfig has two entries associated to V4L API:
VIDEO_DEV and VIDEO_V4L2.

On Kernel 2.6.x, there were two V4L APIs, each one with its own flag.
VIDEO_DEV were meant to:
	1) enable Video4Linux and make its Kconfig options to appear;
	2) it makes the Kernel build the V4L core.

while VIDEO_V4L2 where used to distinguish between drivers that
implement the newer API and drivers that implemented the former one.

With time, such meaning changed, specially after the removal of
all V4L version 1 drivers.

At the current implementation, VIDEO_DEV only does (1): it enables
the media options related to V4L, that now has:

	menu "Video4Linux options"
		visible if VIDEO_DEV

	source "drivers/media/v4l2-core/Kconfig"
	endmenu

but it doesn't affect anymore the V4L core drivers.

The rationale is that the V4L2 core has a "soft" dependency
at the I2C bus, and now requires to select a number of other
Kconfig options:

	config VIDEO_V4L2
		tristate
		depends on (I2C || I2C=n) &amp;&amp; VIDEO_DEV
		select RATIONAL
		select VIDEOBUF2_V4L2 if VIDEOBUF2_CORE
		default (I2C || I2C=n) &amp;&amp; VIDEO_DEV

In the past, merging them would be tricky, but it seems that it is now
possible to merge those symbols, in order to simplify V4L dependencies.

Let's keep VIDEO_DEV, as this one is used on some make *defconfig
configurations.
