2015-02-13[media] DocBook: Add tuner subdev at documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+1
Now that we've added MEDIA_ENT_T_V4L2_SUBDEV_TUNER at the API, document it. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2015-02-13[media] DocBook: Document the DVB API devnodes at the media controllerMauro Carvalho Chehab1-1/+1
The DVB API is actually several different APIs bundled together, each using its own device node. Fix the media controller DVB API to actually reflect what's there at the DVB subsystem. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
2015-02-13[media] Docbook: Fix documentation for media controller devnodesMauro Carvalho Chehab1-0/+8
The media-ctl userspace application assumes that all device nodes are uniquelly defined via major,minor, just like v4l and fb. That's ok for those types of devices, but, as we're adding support for DVB at the API, what's written there at the DocBook is wrong. So, fix it. While here, fix the size of the reserved space inside the union, with is 184, and not 180. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>

2014-07-17[media] v4l: Add premultiplied alpha flag for pixel formatsLaurent Pinchart1-1/+1
When set, the new V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_PREMUL_ALPHA flag indicates that the pixel values are premultiplied by the alpha channel value. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart+renesas@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <m.chehab@samsung.com>
2014-07-17[media] v4l: Support extending the v4l2_pix_format structureLaurent Pinchart1-0/+8
The v4l2_pix_format structure has no reserved field. It is embedded in the v4l2_framebuffer structure which has no reserved fields either, and in the v4l2_format structure which has reserved fields that were not previously required to be zeroed out by applications. To allow extending v4l2_pix_format, inline it in the v4l2_framebuffer structure, and use the priv field as a magic value to indicate that the application has set all v4l2_pix_format extended fields and zeroed all reserved fields following the v4l2_pix_format field in the v4l2_format structure. The availability of this API extension is reported to userspace through the new V4L2_CAP_EXT_PIX_FORMAT capability flag. Just checking that the priv field is still set to the magic value at [GS]_FMT return wouldn't be enough, as older kernels don't zero the priv field on return. To simplify the internal API towards drivers zero the extended fields and set the priv field to the magic value for applications not aware of the extensions.

2013-02-05[media] v4l2-ctrl: Add helper function for the controls range updateSylwester Nawrocki1-1/+3
This patch adds a helper function that allows to modify range, i.e. minimum, maximum, step and default value of a v4l2 control, after the control has been created and initialized. This is helpful in situations when range of a control depends on user configurable parameters, e.g. camera sensor absolute exposure time depending on an output image resolution and frame rate. v4l2_ctrl_modify_range() function allows to modify range of an INTEGER, BOOL, MENU, INTEGER_MENU and BITMASK type controls.

Both V4L2 and V4L2 subdev interface have very similar selection APIs with differences foremost related to in-memory and media bus formats. However, the selection targets are the same for both. Most targets are and in the future will likely continue to be more the same than with any differences. Thus it makes sense to unify the documentation of the targets.

2012-01-23[media] V4L2: Add per-device-node capabilitiesHans Verkuil1-1/+8
If V4L2_CAP_DEVICE_CAPS is set, then the new device_caps field is filled with the capabilities of the opened device node. The capabilities field traditionally contains the capabilities of the physical device, being a superset of all capabilities available at the several device nodes. E.g., if you open /dev/video0, then if it contains VBI caps then that means that there is a corresponding vbi node as well. And the capabilities field of both the video and vbi nodes should contain identical caps. However, it would be very useful to also have a capabilities field that contains just the caps for the currently open device, hence the new CAP bit and field.

This patch addresses several issues pointed by Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> at changeset ece722c: - In the generated index.html file, "media" is listed first, but it should be listed in alphabetical order, not first. - The generated files are (hidden) in .tmpmedia/ - The link from the top-level index.html file to "media" is to media/index.html, but the file is actually in .tmpmedia/media/index.html - Please build docs with and without using "O=builddir" and test that. - Would it be possible for media to have its own Makefile instead of merging into this one?
