1.21. V4L2 async kAPI

enum v4l2_async_match_type

type of asynchronous subdevice logic to be used in order to identify a match

Constants

V4L2_ASYNC_MATCH_CUSTOM

Match will use the logic provided by struct v4l2_async_subdev.match ops

V4L2_ASYNC_MATCH_DEVNAME

Match will use the device name

V4L2_ASYNC_MATCH_I2C

Match will check for I2C adapter ID and address

V4L2_ASYNC_MATCH_FWNODE

Match will use firmware node

Description

This enum is used by the asyncrhronous sub-device logic to define the algorithm that will be used to match an asynchronous device.

struct v4l2_async_subdev

sub-device descriptor, as known to a bridge

void v4l2_async_notifier_init(struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier)

Initialize a notifier.

Parameters

struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier

pointer to struct v4l2_async_notifier

Description

This function initializes the notifier asd_list. It must be called before the first call to v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev.

int v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev(struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier, struct v4l2_async_subdev * asd)

Add an async subdev to the notifier's master asd list.

Parameters

struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier

pointer to struct v4l2_async_notifier

struct v4l2_async_subdev * asd

pointer to struct v4l2_async_subdev

Description

Call this function before registering a notifier to link the provided asd to the notifiers master asd_list.

struct v4l2_async_subdev * v4l2_async_notifier_add_fwnode_subdev(struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier, struct fwnode_handle * fwnode, unsigned int asd_struct_size)

Allocate and add a fwnode async subdev to the notifier's master asd_list.

Parameters

struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier

pointer to struct v4l2_async_notifier

struct fwnode_handle * fwnode

fwnode handle of the sub-device to be matched

unsigned int asd_struct_size

size of the driver's async sub-device struct, including sizeof(struct v4l2_async_subdev). The struct v4l2_async_subdev shall be the first member of the driver's async sub-device struct, i.e. both begin at the same memory address.

Description

Allocate a fwnode-matched asd of size asd_struct_size, and add it to the notifiers asd_list. The function also gets a reference of the fwnode which is released later at notifier cleanup time.

int v4l2_async_notifier_add_fwnode_remote_subdev(struct v4l2_async_notifier * notif, struct fwnode_handle * endpoint, struct v4l2_async_subdev * asd)

Allocate and add a fwnode remote async subdev to the notifier's master asd_list.

Parameters

struct v4l2_async_notifier * notif

pointer to struct v4l2_async_notifier

struct fwnode_handle * endpoint

local endpoint pointing to the remote sub-device to be matched

struct v4l2_async_subdev * asd

Async sub-device struct allocated by the caller. The struct v4l2_async_subdev shall be the first member of the driver's async sub-device struct, i.e. both begin at the same memory address.

Description

Gets the remote endpoint of a given local endpoint, set it up for fwnode matching and adds the async sub-device to the notifier's asd_list. The function also gets a reference of the fwnode which is released later at notifier cleanup time.

This is just like v4l2_async_notifier_add_fwnode_subdev, but with the exception that the fwnode refers to a local endpoint, not the remote one, and the function relies on the caller to allocate the async sub-device struct.

struct v4l2_async_subdev * v4l2_async_notifier_add_i2c_subdev(struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier, int adapter_id, unsigned short address, unsigned int asd_struct_size)

Allocate and add an i2c async subdev to the notifier's master asd_list.

Parameters

struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier

pointer to struct v4l2_async_notifier

int adapter_id

I2C adapter ID to be matched

unsigned short address

I2C address of sub-device to be matched

unsigned int asd_struct_size

size of the driver's async sub-device struct, including sizeof(struct v4l2_async_subdev). The struct v4l2_async_subdev shall be the first member of the driver's async sub-device struct, i.e. both begin at the same memory address.

Description

Same as above but for I2C matched sub-devices.

struct v4l2_async_subdev * v4l2_async_notifier_add_devname_subdev(struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier, const char * device_name, unsigned int asd_struct_size)

Allocate and add a device-name async subdev to the notifier's master asd_list.

Parameters

const char * device_name

device name string to be matched

unsigned int asd_struct_size

size of the driver's async sub-device struct, including sizeof(struct v4l2_async_subdev). The struct v4l2_async_subdev shall be the first member of the driver's async sub-device struct, i.e. both begin at the same memory address.

Description

Same as above but for device-name matched sub-devices.

int v4l2_async_notifier_register(struct v4l2_device * v4l2_dev, struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier)

registers a subdevice asynchronous notifier

Parameters

struct v4l2_device * v4l2_dev

pointer to struct v4l2_device

struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier

pointer to struct v4l2_async_notifier

int v4l2_async_subdev_notifier_register(struct v4l2_subdev * sd, struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier)

registers a subdevice asynchronous notifier for a sub-device

Parameters

struct v4l2_subdev * sd

pointer to struct v4l2_subdev

struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier

pointer to struct v4l2_async_notifier

void v4l2_async_notifier_unregister(struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier)

unregisters a subdevice asynchronous notifier

Parameters

struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier

pointer to struct v4l2_async_notifier

void v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup(struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier)

clean up notifier resources

Parameters

struct v4l2_async_notifier * notifier

the notifier the resources of which are to be cleaned up

Description

Release memory resources related to a notifier, including the async sub-devices allocated for the purposes of the notifier but not the notifier itself. The user is responsible for calling this function to clean up the notifier after calling v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev, v4l2_async_notifier_parse_fwnode_endpoints or v4l2_fwnode_reference_parse_sensor_common.

There is no harm from calling v4l2_async_notifier_cleanup in other cases as long as its memory has been zeroed after it has been allocated.

int v4l2_async_register_subdev(struct v4l2_subdev * sd)

registers a sub-device to the asynchronous subdevice framework

Parameters

struct v4l2_subdev * sd

pointer to struct v4l2_subdev

int v4l2_async_register_subdev_sensor_common(struct v4l2_subdev * sd)

registers a sensor sub-device to the asynchronous sub-device framework and parse set up common sensor related devices

Parameters

struct v4l2_subdev * sd

pointer to struct v4l2_subdev

Description

This function is just like v4l2_async_register_subdev() with the exception that calling it will also parse firmware interfaces for remote references using v4l2_async_notifier_parse_fwnode_sensor_common() and registers the async sub-devices. The sub-device is similarly unregistered by calling v4l2_async_unregister_subdev().

While registered, the subdev module is marked as in-use.

An error is returned if the module is no longer loaded on any attempts to register it.

void v4l2_async_unregister_subdev(struct v4l2_subdev * sd)

unregisters a sub-device to the asynchronous subdevice framework

Parameters

struct v4l2_subdev * sd

pointer to struct v4l2_subdev
