+ * struct dmx_demux - Structure that contains the demux capabilities and
+ * callbacks.
+ *
+ * @capabilities: Bitfield of capability flags
+ *
+ * @frontend: Front-end connected to the demux
+ *
+ * @priv: Pointer to private data of the API client
+ *
+ * @open: This function reserves the demux for use by the caller and, if
+ * necessary, initializes the demux. When the demux is no longer needed,
+ * the function close() should be called. It should be possible for
+ * multiple clients to access the demux at the same time. Thus, the
+ * function implementation should increment the demux usage count when
+ * open() is called and decrement it when close() is called.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -EUSERS, if maximum usage count was reached;
+ * -EINVAL, on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @close: This function reserves the demux for use by the caller and, if
+ * necessary, initializes the demux. When the demux is no longer needed,
+ * the function close() should be called. It should be possible for
+ * multiple clients to access the demux at the same time. Thus, the
+ * function implementation should increment the demux usage count when
+ * open() is called and decrement it when close() is called.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -ENODEV, if demux was not in use
+ * -EINVAL, on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @write: This function provides the demux driver with a memory buffer
+ * containing TS packets. Instead of receiving TS packets from the DVB
+ * front-end, the demux driver software will read packets from memory.
+ * Any clients of this demux with active TS, PES or Section filters will
+ * receive filtered data via the Demux callback API (see 0). The function
+ * returns when all the data in the buffer has been consumed by the demux.
+ * Demux hardware typically cannot read TS from memory. If this is the
+ * case, memory-based filtering has to be implemented entirely in software.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @buf function parameter contains a pointer to the TS data in
+ * kernel-space memory.
+ * The @count function parameter contains the length of the TS data.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -ENOSYS, if the command is not implemented;
+ * -EINVAL, on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @allocate_ts_feed: Allocates a new TS feed, which is used to filter the TS
+ * packets carrying a certain PID. The TS feed normally corresponds to a
+ * hardware PID filter on the demux chip.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @feed function parameter contains a pointer to the TS feed API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @callback function parameter contains a pointer to the callback
+ * function for passing received TS packet.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -EBUSY, if no more TS feeds is available;
+ * -ENOSYS, if the command is not implemented;
+ * -EINVAL, on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @release_ts_feed: Releases the resources allocated with allocate_ts_feed().
+ * Any filtering in progress on the TS feed should be stopped before
+ * calling this function.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @feed function parameter contains a pointer to the TS feed API and
+ * instance data.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -EINVAL on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @allocate_section_feed: Allocates a new section feed, i.e. a demux resource
+ * for filtering and receiving sections. On platforms with hardware
+ * support for section filtering, a section feed is directly mapped to
+ * the demux HW. On other platforms, TS packets are first PID filtered in
+ * hardware and a hardware section filter then emulated in software. The
+ * caller obtains an API pointer of type dmx_section_feed_t as an out
+ * parameter. Using this API the caller can set filtering parameters and
+ * start receiving sections.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @feed function parameter contains a pointer to the TS feed API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @callback function parameter contains a pointer to the callback
+ * function for passing received TS packet.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -EBUSY, if no more TS feeds is available;
+ * -ENOSYS, if the command is not implemented;
+ * -EINVAL, on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @release_section_feed: Releases the resources allocated with
+ * allocate_section_feed(), including allocated filters. Any filtering in
+ * progress on the section feed should be stopped before calling this
+ * function.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @feed function parameter contains a pointer to the TS feed API and
+ * instance data.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -EINVAL, on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @add_frontend: Registers a connectivity between a demux and a front-end,
+ * i.e., indicates that the demux can be connected via a call to
+ * connect_frontend() to use the given front-end as a TS source. The
+ * client of this function has to allocate dynamic or static memory for
+ * the frontend structure and initialize its fields before calling this
+ * function. This function is normally called during the driver
+ * initialization. The caller must not free the memory of the frontend
+ * struct before successfully calling remove_frontend().
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @frontend function parameter contains a pointer to the front-end
+ * instance data.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -EEXIST, if a front-end with the same value of the id field
+ * already registered;
+ * -EINUSE, if the demux is in use;
+ * -ENOMEM, if no more front-ends can be added;
+ * -EINVAL, on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @remove_frontend: Indicates that the given front-end, registered by a call
+ * to add_frontend(), can no longer be connected as a TS source by this
+ * demux. The function should be called when a front-end driver or a demux
+ * driver is removed from the system. If the front-end is in use, the
+ * function fails with the return value of -EBUSY. After successfully
+ * calling this function, the caller can free the memory of the frontend
+ * struct if it was dynamically allocated before the add_frontend()
+ * operation.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @frontend function parameter contains a pointer to the front-end
+ * instance data.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -EBUSY, if the front-end is in use, i.e. a call to
+ * connect_frontend() has not been followed by a call to
+ * disconnect_frontend();
+ * -EINVAL, on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @get_frontends: Provides the APIs of the front-ends that have been
+ * registered for this demux. Any of the front-ends obtained with this
+ * call can be used as a parameter for connect_frontend(). The include
+ * file demux.h contains the macro DMX_FE_ENTRY() for converting an
+ * element of the generic type struct list_head* to the type
+ * dmx_frontend_t*. The caller must not free the memory of any of the
+ * elements obtained via this function call.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * It returns a struct list_head pointer to the list of front-end
+ * interfaces, or NULL in the case of an empty list.
+ *
+ * @connect_frontend: Connects the TS output of the front-end to the input of
+ * the demux. A demux can only be connected to a front-end registered to
+ * the demux with the function add_frontend(). It may or may not be
+ * possible to connect multiple demuxes to the same front-end, depending
+ * on the capabilities of the HW platform. When not used, the front-end
+ * should be released by calling disconnect_frontend().
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * The @frontend function parameter contains a pointer to the front-end
+ * instance data.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -EBUSY, if the front-end is in use;
+ * -EINVAL, on bad parameter.
+ *
+ * @disconnect_frontend: Disconnects the demux and a front-end previously
+ * connected by a connect_frontend() call.
+ * The @demux function parameter contains a pointer to the demux API and
+ * instance data.
+ * It returns
+ * 0 on success;
+ * -EINVAL on bad parameter.
