2024-06-24media: Documentation: Document v4l2-jpeg helper functionsDevarsh Thakkar
Enable documentation for v4l2-jpeg header related helper functions which are useful for parsing jpeg files while decoding or creating jpeg headers while encoding.

2023-09-27media: remove the old videobuf frameworkHans Verkuil
The last driver that still used this old framework has been converted to the videobuf2 framework. So it is now time to delete the old videobuf code. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Reviewed-by: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>
2023-08-10media: Add MIPI CCI register access helper functionsHans de Goede
The CSI2 specification specifies a standard method to access camera sensor registers called "Camera Control Interface (CCI)". This uses either 8 or 16 bit (big-endian wire order) register addresses and supports 8, 16, 24 or 32 bit (big-endian wire order) register widths. Currently a lot of Linux camera sensor drivers all have their own custom helpers for this, often copy and pasted from other drivers. Add a set of generic helpers for this so that all sensor drivers can switch to a single common implementation. These helpers take an extra optional "int *err" function parameter, this can be used to chain a bunch of register accesses together with only a single error check at the end, rather than needing to error check each individual register access. The first failing call will set the contents of err to a non 0 value and all other calls will then become no-ops.

2021-02-06media: Remove the legacy v4l2-clk APIEzequiel Garcia
The V4L2 temporary clock helper API, was introduced in late 2012 and, as mentioned in the documentation, meant to be replaced by the generic clock API, once the generic clock framework became available on all relevant architectures. The generic clock API is a well-established API (since a few years now). The last few media capture drivers and sensors using v4l2-clk have been converted to the generic clock framework. We can now remove the v4l2-clk API.
