git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon); - The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select drivers and their dependencies; - The testing drivers now has a separate directory; - added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP; - The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with 4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and making it in good shape. - Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs; - Added an ov2740 image sensor driver; - The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog standards; - Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera is located at the device; - VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices; - Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups. * tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (503 commits) media: Documentation: media: Refer to mbus format documentation from CSI-2 docs media: s5k5baf: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array media: i2c: imx219: Drop <linux/clk-provider.h> and <linux/clkdev.h> media: i2c: Add ov2740 image sensor driver media: ov8856: Implement sensor module revision identification media: ov8856: Add devicetree support media: dt-bindings: ov8856: Document YAML bindings media: dvb-usb: Add Cinergy S2 PCIe Dual Port support media: dvbdev: Fix tuner->demod media controller link media: dt-bindings: phy: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: move rockchip dphy rx0 bindings out of staging media: staging: dt-bindings: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: remove non-used reg property media: atomisp: unify the version for isp2401 a0 and b0 versions media: atomisp: update TODO with the current data media: atomisp: adjust some code at sh_css that could be broken media: atomisp: don't produce errs for ignored IRQs media: atomisp: print IRQ when debugging media: atomisp: isp_mmu: don't use kmem_cache media: atomisp: add a notice about possible leak resources media: atomisp: disable the dynamic and reserved pools media: atomisp: turn on camera before setting it ...

This is a generic improvement which paves the road for similar improvements in other subsystems. - We provide a new ioctl() for monitoring changes in the line information, such as when multiple clients are taking lines and giving them back, possibly reconfiguring them in the process: we can now monitor that and not get stuck with stale static information. - An example tool 'gpio-watch' is provided to showcase this functionality. - Timestamps for events are switched to ktime_get_ns() which is monotonic. We previously had a 'realtime' stamp which could move forward and *backward* in time, which probably would just cause silent bugs and weird behaviour. In the long run we see two relevant timestamps: ktime_get_ns() or the timestamp sometimes provided by the GPIO hardware itself, if that exists. - Device Tree overlay support for GPIO hogs. On systems that load overlays, these overlays can now contain hogs, and will then be respected. - Handle pin control interaction with nonexisting pin ranges in the GPIO library core instead of in the individual drivers. New drivers: - New driver for the Mellanox BlueField 2 GPIO controller. Driver improvements: - Introduce the BGPIOF_NO_SET_ON_INPUT flag to the generic MMIO GPIO library and use this flag in the MT7621 driver. - Texas Instruments OMAP CPU power management improvements, such as blocking of idle on pending GPIO interrupts" * tag 'gpio-v5.7-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-gpio: (59 commits) Revert "gpio: eic-sprd: Use devm_platform_ioremap_resource()" pinctrl: Unconditionally assign .request()/.free() gpio: Unconditionally assign .request()/.free() gpio: export of_pinctrl_get to modules pinctrl: Define of_pinctrl_get() dummy for !PINCTRL gpio: Rename variable in core APIs gpio: Avoid using pin ranges with !PINCTRL gpiolib: Remove unused gpio_chip parameter from gpio_set_bias() gpiolib: Pass gpio_desc to gpio_set_config() gpiolib: Introduce gpiod_set_config() tools: gpio: Fix out-of-tree build regression gpio: gpiolib: fix a doc warning gpio: tegra186: Add Tegra194 pin ranges for GG.0 and GG.1 gpio: tegra186: Add support for pin ranges gpio: Support GPIO controllers without pin-ranges ARM: integrator: impd1: Use GPIO_LOOKUP() helper macro gpio: brcmstb: support gpio-line-names property tools: gpio: Fix typo in gpio-utils tools: gpio-hammer: Apply scripts/Lindent and retain good changes gpiolib: gpio_name_to_desc: factor out !name check ...

2020-03-20docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabelMauro Carvalho Chehab
Changeset 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each document title, plus to each chapter inside it. There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections with the same name anymore. A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to avoid most creating references for every single section title, but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside a document. There are a few places where there are two chapters with the same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to avoid symbol conflict within the same document.

2020-03-20firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firmware_request_platform()Hans de Goede
In some cases the platform's main firmware (e.g. the UEFI fw) may contain an embedded copy of device firmware which needs to be (re)loaded into the peripheral. Normally such firmware would be part of linux-firmware, but in some cases this is not feasible, for 2 reasons: 1) The firmware is customized for a specific use-case of the chipset / use with a specific hardware model, so we cannot have a single firmware file for the chipset. E.g. touchscreen controller firmwares are compiled specifically for the hardware model they are used with, as they are calibrated for a specific model digitizer. 2) Despite repeated attempts we have failed to get permission to redistribute the firmware. This is especially a problem with customized firmwares, these get created by the chip vendor for a specific ODM and the copyright may partially belong with the ODM, so the chip vendor cannot give a blanket permission to distribute these. This commit adds a new platform fallback mechanism to the firmware loader which will try to lookup a device fw copy embedded in the platform's main firmware if direct filesystem lookup fails. Drivers which need such embedded fw copies can enable this fallback mechanism by using the new firmware_request_platform() function. Note that for now this is only supported on EFI platforms and even on these platforms firmware_fallback_platform() only works if CONFIG_EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE is enabled (this gets selected by drivers which need this), in all other cases firmware_fallback_platform() simply always returns -ENOENT.
