[media] V4L: add media bus configuration subdev operations

2011-07-27T20:56:08+00:00

Add media bus configuration types and two subdev operations to get
supported mediabus configurations and to set a specific configuration.
Subdevs can support several configurations, e.g., they can send video data
on 1 or several lanes, can be configured to use a specific CSI-2 channel,
in such cases subdevice drivers return bitmasks with all respective bits
set. When a set-configuration operation is called, it has to specify a
non-ambiguous configuration.

[media] v4l: add g_std_output callback to V4L2 subdev

2011-07-27T20:56:00+00:00

Callback is used to acquire current analog TV standard from a subdev.
It is used to avoid keeping current standard in top-level driver.

[media] v4l2-event/ctrls/fh: allocate events per fh and per type instead of just per-fh

2011-07-27T20:53:31+00:00

The driver had to decide how many events to allocate when the v4l2_fh struct
was created. It was possible to add more events afterwards, but there was no
way to ensure that you wouldn't miss important events if the event queue
would fill up for that filehandle.

In addition, once there were no more free events, any new events were simply
dropped on the floor.

For the control event in particular this made life very difficult since
control status/value changes could just be missed if the number of allocated
events and the speed at which the application read events was too low to keep
up with the number of generated events. The application would have no idea
what the latest state was for a control since it could have missed the latest
control change.

So this patch makes some major changes in how events are allocated. Instead
of allocating events per-filehandle they are now allocated when subscribing an
event. So for that particular event type N events (determined by the driver)
are allocated. Those events are reserved for that particular event type.
This ensures that you will not miss events for a particular type altogether.

In addition, if there are N events in use and a new event is raised, then
the oldest event is dropped and the new one is added. So the latest event
is always available.

This can be further improved by adding the ability to merge the state of
two events together, ensuring that no data is lost at all. This will be
added in the next patch.

This also makes it possible to allow the user to determine the number of
events that will be allocated. This is not implemented at the moment, but
would be trivial.

[media] v4l: v4l2_subdev userspace frame interval API

2011-03-22T07:53:32+00:00

The three new ioctl VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_FRAME_INTERVAL,
VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FRAME_INTERVAL and VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FRAME_INTERVAL can be
used to enumerate and configure a subdev's frame rate from userspace.

Two new video::g/s_frame_interval subdev operations are introduced to
support those ioctls. The existing video::g/s_parm operations are
deprecated and shouldn't be used anymore.
