2024-05-28media: Documentation: v4l: Fix ACTIVE route flagSakari Ailus
The documentation in one occasion mentions the VIDIOC_SUBDEV_STREAM_FL_ACTIVE flag. This was meant to be V4L2_SUBDEV_STREAM_FL_ACTIVE as it's a flag, not an IOCTL. Fix it.

2024-04-29media: Documentation: Document S_ROUTING behaviourSakari Ailus
Document S_ROUTING behaviour for different devices. Generally in devices that produce streams the streams are static and some can be enabled and disabled, whereas in devices that just transport them or write them to memory, more configurability is allowed. Document this.

2024-04-29media: Documentation: Additional streams generally don't harm captureSakari Ailus
Having extra streams on the source end of the link that cannot be captured by the sink sub-device generally are not an issue, at least not on CSI-2 bus. Still document that there may be hardware-specific limitations. For example on parallel bus this might not work on all cases.

2024-04-29media: uapi: v4l: Add generic 8-bit metadata format definitionsSakari Ailus
Generic 8-bit metadata formats define the in-memory data layout but not the format of the data itself. The reasoning for having such formats is to allow CSI-2 receiver drivers to receive and DMA drivers to write the data to memory without knowing a large number of device-specific formats. These formats may be used only in conjunction with a Media Controller pipeline where the internal pad of the source sub-device defines the specific format of the data (using an mbus code).

2023-10-07media: Documentation: Align numbered list, make it a proper ReSTSakari Ailus
Align lines for numbered list so that Sphinx produces an uniform output for all list entries. Also indent paragraphs of such list entries for consistency. Also use ReST numbered list syntax for the entries.

2023-01-22media: Documentation: Update documentation for streamsSakari Ailus
Document how streams interacts with formats and selections. Update documentation in respect to what is allowed, in particular streams are only supported via full routes, source-only routes are not supported right now. The centerpiece of the API additions are streams. Albeit routes are configured via S_ROUTING IOCTL that also declares streams, it is streams that are accessed through other APIs. Thus refer to streams instead of routes in documentation.

2020-04-14media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/mediaMauro Carvalho Chehab
Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API, created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide"). As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate place. Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether will likely make things easier for developers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
