2019-08-19media: docs-rst: Document memory-to-memory video decoder interfaceTomasz Figa
Due to complexity of the video decoding process, the V4L2 drivers of stateful decoder hardware require specific sequences of V4L2 API calls to be followed. These include capability enumeration, initialization, decoding, seek, pause, dynamic resolution change, drain and end of stream. Specifics of the above have been discussed during Media Workshops at LinuxCon Europe 2012 in Barcelona and then later Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2014 in Düsseldorf. The de facto Codec API that originated at those events was later implemented by the drivers we already have merged in mainline, such as s5p-mfc or coda. The only thing missing was the real specification included as a part of Linux Media documentation. Fix it now and document the decoder part of the Codec API.

2019-08-15media: v4l: Documentation: Raw Bayer formats are not RGB formatsSakari Ailus
The raw Bayer formats have been listed under the label of RGB formats but in fact they're quite different. The latter are readily usable as such whereas the former require quite bit of image processing before useful. Split them into RGB and raw Bayer formats.

2019-06-05media: media/doc: Allow sizeimage to be set by v4l clientsStanimir Varbanov
This changes v4l2_pix_format and v4l2_plane_pix_format sizeimage field description to allow v4l clients to set bigger image size in case of variable length compressed data. Presently s5p-mfc and mtk-vcodec codec drivers use that. Lets make it obvious in the documentation.

2018-12-05media: add SPDX header to media uAPI filesMauro Carvalho Chehab
All those files are under GFDL 1.1 or later, with no invariant sections. Tag them as such. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2018-12-05media: remove text encoding from rst filesMauro Carvalho Chehab
This is not needed there. Also, the same UTF-8 encoding should be used on all documents. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
2018-04-04media: pixfmt-v4l2.rst: fix typesHans Verkuil
The v4l2_pix_format documentation still had 'enum's as types. Replace by __u32 and add a reference to the enum. Also put ycbcr_enc and hsv_enc in a union. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

2017-08-08media: media/doc: rename and reorder pixfmt filesHans Verkuil
After the DocBook conversion a number of pixfmt description files just had a number in the filename (pix-fmt-004, 006, etc) which was not very descriptive. Rename them. Note that pixfmt-008.rst was folded into colorspaces-details.rst, so that file is deleted. It's easier to maintain that way. Also moved the colorspace sections to the end of the chapter. The old order was weird: the "Standard Image Formats" section (an intro into pixel formats) was followed by the colorspace sections instead of the pixel format descriptions. Moving it to the end resolved that issue. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hansverk@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>
