-CEC Kernel Support
-==================
-
-The CEC framework provides a unified kernel interface for use with HDMI CEC
-hardware. It is designed to handle a multiple types of hardware (receivers,
-transmitters, USB dongles). The framework also gives the option to decide
-what to do in the kernel driver and what should be handled by userspace
-applications. In addition it integrates the remote control passthrough
-feature into the kernel's remote control framework.
-
-
-The CEC Protocol
-----------------
-
-The CEC protocol enables consumer electronic devices to communicate with each
-other through the HDMI connection. The protocol uses logical addresses in the
-communication. The logical address is strictly connected with the functionality
-provided by the device. The TV acting as the communication hub is always
-assigned address 0. The physical address is determined by the physical
-connection between devices.
-
-The CEC framework described here is up to date with the CEC 2.0 specification.
-It is documented in the HDMI 1.4 specification with the new 2.0 bits documented
-in the HDMI 2.0 specification. But for most of the features the freely available
-HDMI 1.3a specification is sufficient:

-http://www.microprocessor.org/HDMISpecification13a.pdf
-
-
-The Kernel Interface
-====================
-
-CEC Adapter
------------
-
-The struct cec_adapter represents the CEC adapter hardware. It is created by
-calling cec_allocate_adapter() and deleted by calling cec_delete_adapter():
-
-struct cec_adapter *cec_allocate_adapter(const struct cec_adap_ops *ops,
- void *priv, const char *name, u32 caps, u8 available_las,
- struct device *parent);
-void cec_delete_adapter(struct cec_adapter *adap);
-
-To create an adapter you need to pass the following information:
-
-ops: adapter operations which are called by the CEC framework and that you
-have to implement.
-
-priv: will be stored in adap->priv and can be used by the adapter ops.
-
-name: the name of the CEC adapter. Note: this name will be copied.
-
-caps: capabilities of the CEC adapter. These capabilities determine the
- capabilities of the hardware and which parts are to be handled
- by userspace and which parts are handled by kernelspace. The
- capabilities are returned by CEC_ADAP_G_CAPS.
-
-available_las: the number of simultaneous logical addresses that this
- adapter can handle. Must be 1 <= available_las <= CEC_MAX_LOG_ADDRS.
-
-parent: the parent device.
-
-
-To register the /dev/cecX device node and the remote control device (if
-CEC_CAP_RC is set) you call:
-
-int cec_register_adapter(struct cec_adapter *adap);
-
-To unregister the devices call:
-
-void cec_unregister_adapter(struct cec_adapter *adap);
-
-Note: if cec_register_adapter() fails, then call cec_delete_adapter() to
-clean up. But if cec_register_adapter() succeeded, then only call
-cec_unregister_adapter() to clean up, never cec_delete_adapter(). The
-unregister function will delete the adapter automatically once the last user
-of that /dev/cecX device has closed its file handle.
-
-
-Implementing the Low-Level CEC Adapter
---------------------------------------
-
-The following low-level adapter operations have to be implemented in
-your driver:
-
-struct cec_adap_ops {
- /* Low-level callbacks */
- int (*adap_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable);
- int (*adap_monitor_all_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable);
- int (*adap_log_addr)(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 logical_addr);
- int (*adap_transmit)(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 attempts,
- u32 signal_free_time, struct cec_msg *msg);
- void (*adap_log_status)(struct cec_adapter *adap);
-
- /* High-level callbacks */
- ...
-};
-
-The three low-level ops deal with various aspects of controlling the CEC adapter
-hardware:
-
-
-To enable/disable the hardware:
-
- int (*adap_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable);
-
-This callback enables or disables the CEC hardware. Enabling the CEC hardware
-means powering it up in a state where no logical addresses are claimed. This
-op assumes that the physical address (adap->phys_addr) is valid when enable is
-true and will not change while the CEC adapter remains enabled. The initial
-state of the CEC adapter after calling cec_allocate_adapter() is disabled.
-
-Note that adap_enable must return 0 if enable is false.
-
-
-To enable/disable the 'monitor all' mode:
-
- int (*adap_monitor_all_enable)(struct cec_adapter *adap, bool enable);
-
-If enabled, then the adapter should be put in a mode to also monitor messages
-that not for us. Not all hardware supports this and this function is only
-called if the CEC_CAP_MONITOR_ALL capability is set. This callback is optional
-(some hardware may always be in 'monitor all' mode).
-
-Note that adap_monitor_all_enable must return 0 if enable is false.
-
-
-To program a new logical address:
-
- int (*adap_log_addr)(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 logical_addr);
-
-If logical_addr == CEC_LOG_ADDR_INVALID then all programmed logical addresses
-are to be erased. Otherwise the given logical address should be programmed.
-If the maximum number of available logical addresses is exceeded, then it
-should return -ENXIO. Once a logical address is programmed the CEC hardware
-can receive directed messages to that address.
-
-Note that adap_log_addr must return 0 if logical_addr is CEC_LOG_ADDR_INVALID.
-
-
-To transmit a new message:
-
- int (*adap_transmit)(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 attempts,
- u32 signal_free_time, struct cec_msg *msg);
-
-This transmits a new message. The attempts argument is the suggested number of
-attempts for the transmit.
-
-The signal_free_time is the number of data bit periods that the adapter should
-wait when the line is free before attempting to send a message. This value
-depends on whether this transmit is a retry, a message from a new initiator or
-a new message for the same initiator. Most hardware will handle this
-automatically, but in some cases this information is needed.
-
-The CEC_FREE_TIME_TO_USEC macro can be used to convert signal_free_time to
-microseconds (one data bit period is 2.4 ms).
-
-
-To log the current CEC hardware status:
-
- void (*adap_status)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct seq_file *file);
-
-This optional callback can be used to show the status of the CEC hardware.
-The status is available through debugfs: cat /sys/kernel/debug/cec/cecX/status
-
-
-Your adapter driver will also have to react to events (typically interrupt
-driven) by calling into the framework in the following situations:
-
-When a transmit finished (successfully or otherwise):
-
-void cec_transmit_done(struct cec_adapter *adap, u8 status, u8 arb_lost_cnt,
- u8 nack_cnt, u8 low_drive_cnt, u8 error_cnt);
-
-The status can be one of:
-
-CEC_TX_STATUS_OK: the transmit was successful.
-CEC_TX_STATUS_ARB_LOST: arbitration was lost: another CEC initiator
-took control of the CEC line and you lost the arbitration.
-CEC_TX_STATUS_NACK: the message was nacked (for a directed message) or
-acked (for a broadcast message). A retransmission is needed.
-CEC_TX_STATUS_LOW_DRIVE: low drive was detected on the CEC bus. This
-indicates that a follower detected an error on the bus and requested a
-retransmission.
-CEC_TX_STATUS_ERROR: some unspecified error occurred: this can be one of
-the previous two if the hardware cannot differentiate or something else
-entirely.
-CEC_TX_STATUS_MAX_RETRIES: could not transmit the message after
-trying multiple times. Should only be set by the driver if it has hardware
-support for retrying messages. If set, then the framework assumes that it
-doesn't have to make another attempt to transmit the message since the
-hardware did that already.
-
-The *_cnt arguments are the number of error conditions that were seen.
-This may be 0 if no information is available. Drivers that do not support
-hardware retry can just set the counter corresponding to the transmit error
-to 1, if the hardware does support retry then either set these counters to
-0 if the hardware provides no feedback of which errors occurred and how many
-times, or fill in the correct values as reported by the hardware.
-
-When a CEC message was received:
-
-void cec_received_msg(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg);
-
-Speaks for itself.
-
-Implementing the High-Level CEC Adapter
----------------------------------------
-
-The low-level operations drive the hardware, the high-level operations are
-CEC protocol driven. The following high-level callbacks are available:
-
-struct cec_adap_ops {
- /* Low-level callbacks */
- ...
-
- /* High-level CEC message callback */
- int (*received)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg);
-};
-
-The received() callback allows the driver to optionally handle a newly
-received CEC message
-
- int (*received)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg);
-
-If the driver wants to process a CEC message, then it can implement this
-callback. If it doesn't want to handle this message, then it should return
--ENOMSG, otherwise the CEC framework assumes it processed this message and
-it will not no anything with it.
-
-
-CEC framework functions
------------------------
-
-CEC Adapter drivers can call the following CEC framework functions:
-
-int cec_transmit_msg(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct cec_msg *msg,
- bool block);
-
-Transmit a CEC message. If block is true, then wait until the message has been
-transmitted, otherwise just queue it and return.
-
-void cec_s_phys_addr(struct cec_adapter *adap, u16 phys_addr, bool block);
-
-Change the physical address. This function will set adap->phys_addr and
-send an event if it has changed. If cec_s_log_addrs() has been called and
-the physical address has become valid, then the CEC framework will start
-claiming the logical addresses. If block is true, then this function won't
-return until this process has finished.
-
-When the physical address is set to a valid value the CEC adapter will
-be enabled (see the adap_enable op). When it is set to CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID,
-then the CEC adapter will be disabled. If you change a valid physical address
-to another valid physical address, then this function will first set the
-address to CEC_PHYS_ADDR_INVALID before enabling the new physical address.
-
-int cec_s_log_addrs(struct cec_adapter *adap,
- struct cec_log_addrs *log_addrs, bool block);
-
-Claim the CEC logical addresses. Should never be called if CEC_CAP_LOG_ADDRS
-is set. If block is true, then wait until the logical addresses have been
-claimed, otherwise just queue it and return. To unconfigure all logical
-addresses call this function with log_addrs set to NULL or with
-log_addrs->num_log_addrs set to 0. The block argument is ignored when
-unconfiguring. This function will just return if the physical address is
-invalid. Once the physical address becomes valid, then the framework will
-attempt to claim these logical addresses.
