* [media] media.h: mark alsa struct in media_entity_desc as TODOHans Verkuil2015-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The alsa struct in struct media_entity_desc is now marked as deprecated. However, the alsa struct should remain as it is since it cannot be replaced by a simple major/minor device node description. The alsa struct was designed to be used as an alsa card description so V4L2 drivers could use this to expose the alsa card that they create to carry the captured audio. Such a card is not just a PCM device, but also needs to contain the alsa subdevice information, and it may map to multiple devices, e.g. a PCM and a mixer device, such as the au0828 usb stick creates. This is exactly as intended and this cannot and should not be replaced by a simple major/minor. However, whether this information is in the right form for an ALSA device such that it can handle udev renaming rules as well is another matter. So mark this alsa struct as TODO and document the problems involved. Updated the documentation as well to reflect this and to add the 'major' and 'minor' field documentation. Updated the documentation to clearly state that struct dev is to be used for (sub-)devices that create a single device node. Other devices need their own structure here.

* [media] media: add new types for DVB devnodesMauro Carvalho Chehab2015-02-13
| | | | | | | | Most of the DVB subdevs have already their own devnode. Add support for them at the media controller API. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@osg.samsung.com>
* [media] media: Fix DVB devnode representation at media controllerMauro Carvalho Chehab2015-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous provision for DVB media controller support were to define an ID (likely meaning the adapter number) for the DVB devnodes. This is just plain wrong. Just like V4L, DVB devices (and any other device node)) are uniquely identified via a (major, minor) tuple. This is enough to uniquely identify a devnode, no matter what API it implements. So, before we go too far, let's mark the old v4l, fb, dvb and alsa "devnode" info as deprecated, and just call it as "dev". We can latter add fields specific to each API if needed. As we don't want to break compilation on already existing apps, let's just keep the old definitions as-is, adding a note that those are deprecated at media-entity.h.

* [media] media: add support for decoder as one of media entity typesManjunath Hadli2013-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | A lot of SOCs including Texas Instruments Davinci family mainly use video decoders as input devices. This patch adds a flag 'MEDIA_ENT_T_V4L2_SUBDEV_DECODER' media entity type for decoder's. Along side updates the documentation for this media entity type.
