Merge tag 'media/v5.8-1' of 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 ...

+========

+ :name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION
+
+.. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION, struct v4l2_subdev_selection *argp )
+ :name: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <func-open>`.
+
+``argp``
+ Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The selections are used to configure various image processing
+functionality performed by the subdevs which affect the image size. This
+currently includes cropping, scaling and composition.
+
+The selection API replaces
+:ref:`the old subdev crop API <VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_CROP>`. All the
+function of the crop API, and more, are supported by the selections API.
+
+See :ref:`subdev` for more information on how each selection target
+affects the image processing pipeline inside the subdevice.
+
+If the subdev device node has been registered in read-only mode, calls to
+``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION`` are only valid if the ``which`` field is set to
+``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_TRY``, otherwise an error is returned and the errno
+variable is set to ``-EPERM``.
+
+Types of selection targets
+--------------------------
+
+There are two types of selection targets: actual and bounds. The actual
+targets are the targets which configure the hardware. The BOUNDS target
+will return a rectangle that contain all possible actual rectangles.
+
+
+Discovering supported features
+------------------------------
+
+To discover which targets are supported, the user can perform
+``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION`` on them. Any unsupported target will
+return ``EINVAL``.
+
+Selection targets and flags are documented in
+:ref:`v4l2-selections-common`.

+ * - __u32
+ - ``which``
+ - Active or try selection, from enum
+ :ref:`v4l2_subdev_format_whence <v4l2-subdev-format-whence>`.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``pad``
+ - Pad number as reported by the media framework.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``target``
+ - Target selection rectangle. See :ref:`v4l2-selections-common`.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``flags``
+ - Flags. See :ref:`v4l2-selection-flags`.
+ * - struct :c:type:`v4l2_rect`
+ - ``r``
+ - Selection rectangle, in pixels.
+ * - __u32
+ - ``reserved``\ [8]
+ - Reserved for future extensions. Applications and drivers must set
+ the array to zero.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
+
+EBUSY
+ The selection rectangle can't be changed because the pad is
+ currently busy. This can be caused, for instance, by an active video
+ stream on the pad. The ioctl must not be retried without performing
+ another action to fix the problem first. Only returned by
+ ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION``
+
+EINVAL
+ The struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_selection`
+ ``pad`` references a non-existing pad, the ``which`` field
+ references a non-existing format, or the selection target is not
+ supported on the given subdev pad.
+
+EPERM
+ The ``VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION`` ioctl has been called on a read-only
+ subdevice and the ``which`` field is set to ``V4L2_SUBDEV_FORMAT_ACTIVE``.
