Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - new framework support for HDMI CEC and remote control support - new encoding codec driver for Mediatek SoC - new frontend driver: helene tuner - added support for NetUp almost universal devices, with supports DVB-C/S/S2/T/T2 and ISDB-T - the mn88472 frontend driver got promoted from staging - a new driver for RCar video input - some soc_camera legacy drivers got removed: timb, omap1, mx2, mx3 - lots of driver cleanups, improvements and fixups * tag 'media/v4.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (377 commits) [media] cec: always check all_device_types and features [media] cec: poll should check if there is room in the tx queue [media] vivid: support monitor all mode [media] cec: fix test for unconfigured adapter in main message loop [media] cec: limit the size of the transmit queue [media] cec: zero unused msg part after msg->len [media] cec: don't set fh to NULL in CEC_TRANSMIT [media] cec: clear all status fields before transmit and always fill in sequence [media] cec: CEC_RECEIVE overwrote the timeout field [media] cxd2841er: Reading SNR for DVB-C added [media] cxd2841er: Reading BER and UCB for DVB-C added [media] cxd2841er: fix switch-case for DVB-C [media] cxd2841er: fix signal strength scale for ISDB-T [media] cxd2841er: adjust the dB scale for DVB-C [media] cxd2841er: provide signal strength for DVB-C [media] cxd2841er: fix BER report via DVBv5 stats API [media] mb86a20s: apply mask to val after checking for read failure [media] airspy: fix error logic during device register [media] s5p-cec/TODO: add TODO item [media] cec/TODO: drop comment about sphinx documentation ...
To understand all the Linux-USB framework, you'll use these resources:
* This source code. This is necessarily an evolving work, and
includes kerneldoc that should help you get a current overview.
("make pdfdocs", and then look at "usb.pdf" for host side and
"gadget.pdf" for peripheral side.) Also, Documentation/usb has
more information.
* The USB 2.0 specification (from www.usb.org), with supplements
such as those for USB OTG and the various device classes.
The USB specification has a good overview chapter, and USB
peripherals conform to the widely known "Chapter 9".
* Chip specifications for USB controllers. Examples include
host controllers (on PCs, servers, and more); peripheral
controllers (in devices with Linux firmware, like printers or
cell phones); and hard-wired peripherals like Ethernet adapters.
* Specifications for other protocols implemented by USB peripheral
functions. Some are vendor-specific; others are vendor-neutral
but just standardized outside of the www.usb.org team.
Here is a list of what each subdirectory here is, and what is contained in
them.
core/ - This is for the core USB host code, including the
usbfs files and the hub class driver ("hub_wq").
host/ - This is for USB host controller drivers. This
includes UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and others that might
be used with more specialized "embedded" systems.
gadget/ - This is for USB peripheral controller drivers and
the various gadget drivers which talk to them.
Individual USB driver directories. A new driver should be added to the
first subdirectory in the list below that it fits into.
image/ - This is for still image drivers, like scanners or
digital cameras.
../input/ - This is for any driver that uses the input subsystem,
like keyboard, mice, touchscreens, tablets, etc.
../media/ - This is for multimedia drivers, like video cameras,
radios, and any other drivers that talk to the v4l
subsystem.
../net/ - This is for network drivers.
serial/ - This is for USB to serial drivers.
storage/ - This is for USB mass-storage drivers.
class/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories, and work for a range
of USB Class specified devices.
misc/ - This is for all USB device drivers that do not fit
into any of the above categories.
