2021-05-23media: uapi: mpeg2: Remove V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_SLICE_PARAMSEzequiel Garcia
The Hantro and Cedrus drivers work in frame-mode, meaning they expect all the slices in a picture (either frame or field structure) to be passed in each OUTPUT buffer. These two are the only V4L2 MPEG-2 stateless decoders currently supported. Given the VA-API drivers also work per-frame, coalescing all the MPEG-2 slices in a buffer before the decoding operation, it makes sense to not expect slice-mode drivers and therefore remove V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_MPEG2_SLICE_PARAMS. This is done to avoid carrying an unused interface. If needed, this control can be added without breaking backwards compatibility. Note that this would mean introducing a enumerator control to specify the decoding mode (see V4L2_CID_STATELESS_H264_DECODE_MODE).

2021-05-23media: uapi: mpeg2: Split sequence and picture parametersEzequiel Garcia
Typically, bitstreams are composed of a sequence header, followed by a number of picture header and picture coding extension headers. Each picture can be composed of a number of slices. Let's split the MPEG-2 uAPI to follow these semantics more closely, allowing more usage flexibility. Having these controls split up allows applications to set a sequence control at the beginning of a sequence, and then set a picture control for each frame. While here add padding fields where needed, and document the uAPI header thoroughly. Note that the V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_{} defines had to be moved because it clashes with existing ones. This is not really an issue since they will be re-defined when the controls are moved out of staging.

2021-03-22media: uapi: move VP8 stateless controls out of stagingEzequiel Garcia
Until now, the VP8 V4L2 API was not exported as a public API, and only defined in a private media header (media/vp8-ctrls.h). The reason for this was a concern about the API not complete and ready to support VP8 decoding hardware accelerators. After reviewing the VP8 specification in detail, and now that the API is able to support Cedrus and Hantro G1, we can consider this ready.

2020-09-26media: v4l2: add support for colorspace conversion API (CSC) for video captureDafna Hirschfeld
For video capture it is the driver that reports the colorspace, transfer function, Y'CbCr/HSV encoding and quantization range used by the video, and there is no way to request something different, even though many HDTV receivers have some sort of colorspace conversion capabilities. For output video this feature already exists since the application specifies this information for the video format it will send out, and the transmitter will enable any available CSC if a format conversion has to be performed in order to match the capabilities of the sink. For video capture we propose adding new v4l2_pix_format flag: V4L2_PIX_FMT_FLAG_SET_CSC. The flag is set by the application, the driver will interpret the colorspace, xfer_func, ycbcr_enc/hsv_enc and quantization fields as the requested colorspace information and will attempt to do the conversion it supports. Drivers set the flags V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_COLORSPACE, V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_XFER_FUNC, V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_YCBCR_ENC/V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_HSV_ENC, V4L2_FMT_FLAG_CSC_QUANTIZATION, in the flags field of the struct v4l2_fmtdesc during enumeration to indicate that they support colorspace conversion for the respective field. Drivers do not have to actually look at the flags. If the flags are not set, then the fields 'colorspace', 'xfer_func', 'ycbcr_enc/hsv_enc', and 'quantization' are set to the default values by the core, i.e. just pass on the received format without conversion.

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>
