-TODO (general):
-==================================
-
-- User space interface refinement
- - Controls should be used when possible rather than private ioctl
- - No enums should be used
- - Use of MC and V4L2 subdev APIs when applicable
- - Single interface header might suffice
- - Current interface forces to configure everything at once
-- Get rid of the dm365_ipipe_hw.[ch] layer
-- Active external sub-devices defined by link configuration; no strcmp
- needed
-- More generic platform data (i2c adapters)
-- The driver should have no knowledge of possible external subdevs; see
- struct vpfe_subdev_id
-- Some of the hardware control should be refactorede
-- Check proper serialisation (through mutexes and spinlocks)
-- Names that are visible in kernel global namespace should have a common
- prefix (or a few)
-- While replacing the older driver in media folder, provide a compatibility
- layer and compatibility tests that warrants (using the libv4l's LD_PRELOAD
- approach) there is no regression for the users using the older driver.
-- make it independent of arch-specific APIs (mach/mux.h).
-
-Building of uImage and Applications:
-==================================
-
-As of now since the interface will undergo few changes all the include
-files are present in staging itself, to build for dm365 follow below steps,
-
-- copy vpfe.h from drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/ to
- include/media/davinci/ folder for building the uImage.
-- copy davinci_vpfe_user.h from drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/ to
- include/uapi/linux/davinci_vpfe.h, and add a entry in Kbuild (required
- for building application).
-- copy dm365_ipipeif_user.h from drivers/staging/media/davinci_vpfe/ to
- include/uapi/linux/dm365_ipipeif.h and a entry in Kbuild (required
- for building application).
