This document will focus on +the kernel-side implementation of the media framework. + + +Media device +------------ + +A media device is represented by a struct media_device instance, defined in +include/media/media-device.h. Allocation of the structure is handled by the +media device driver, usually by embedding the media_device instance in a +larger driver-specific structure. + +Drivers register media device instances by calling + + media_device_register(struct media_device *mdev); + +The caller is responsible for initializing the media_device structure before +registration. The following fields must be set: + + - dev must point to the parent device (usually a pci_dev, usb_interface or + platform_device instance). + + - model must be filled with the device model name as a NUL-terminated UTF-8 + string. The device/model revision must not be stored in this field. + +The following fields are optional: + + - serial is a unique serial number stored as a NUL-terminated ASCII string. + The field is big enough to store a GUID in text form. If the hardware + doesn't provide a unique serial number this field must be left empty. + + - bus_info represents the location of the device in the system as a + NUL-terminated ASCII string. For PCI/PCIe devices bus_info must be set to + "PCI:" (or "PCIe:") followed by the value of pci_name(). For USB devices, + the usb_make_path() function must be used. This field is used by + applications to distinguish between otherwise identical devices that don't + provide a serial number. + + - hw_revision is the hardware device revision in a driver-specific format. + When possible the revision should be formatted with the KERNEL_VERSION + macro. + + - driver_version is formatted with the KERNEL_VERSION macro. The version + minor must be incremented when new features are added to the userspace API + without breaking binary compatibility. The version major must be + incremented when binary compatibility is broken. + +Upon successful registration a character device named media[0-9]+ is created. +The device major and minor numbers are dynamic. The model name is exported as +a sysfs attribute. + +Drivers unregister media device instances by calling + + media_device_unregister(struct media_device *mdev); + +Unregistering a media device that hasn't been registered is *NOT* safe. diff --git a/drivers/media/Makefile b/drivers/media/Makefile index d56349f..36731aa 100644 --- a/drivers/media/Makefile +++ b/drivers/media/Makefile @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # Makefile for the kernel multimedia device drivers. # -media-objs := media-devnode.o +media-objs := media-device.o media-devnode.o ifeq ($(CONFIG_MEDIA_CONTROLLER),y) obj-$(CONFIG_MEDIA_SUPPORT) += media.o diff --git a/drivers/media/media-device.c b/drivers/media/media-device.c new file mode 100644 index 0000000..bcd3985 --- /dev/null +++ b/drivers/media/media-device.c @@ -0,0 +1,100 @@ +/* + * Media device + * + * Copyright (C) 2010 Nokia Corporation + * + * Contacts: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> + * Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@iki.fi> + * + * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify + * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License version 2 as + * published by the Free Software Foundation. + * + * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, + * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of + * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
