-Information about the Device
-============================
-This chip is a Silicon Labs product. It is a I2C device, currently on 0x63 address.
-Basically, it has transmission and signal noise level measurement features.
-
-The Si4713 integrates transmit functions for FM broadcast stereo transmission.
-The chip also allows integrated receive power scanning to identify low signal
-power FM channels.
-
-The chip is programmed using commands and responses. There are also several
-properties which can change the behavior of this chip.
-
-Users must comply with local regulations on radio frequency (RF) transmission.
-
-Device driver description
-=========================
-There are two modules to handle this device. One is a I2C device driver
-and the other is a platform driver.
-
-The I2C device driver exports a v4l2-subdev interface to the kernel.
-All properties can also be accessed by v4l2 extended controls interface, by
-using the v4l2-subdev calls (g_ext_ctrls, s_ext_ctrls).
-
-The platform device driver exports a v4l2 radio device interface to user land.
-So, it uses the I2C device driver as a sub device in order to send the user
-commands to the actual device. Basically it is a wrapper to the I2C device driver.
-
-Applications can use v4l2 radio API to specify frequency of operation, mute state,
-etc. But mostly of its properties will be present in the extended controls.
-
-When the v4l2 mute property is set to 1 (true), the driver will turn the chip off.
-
-Properties description
-======================
-
-The properties can be accessed using v4l2 extended controls.
-Here is an output from v4l2-ctl util:
-/ # v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --all -L

-/ #
-
-Here is a summary of them:
-
-* Pilot is an audible tone sent by the device.
-
-pilot_frequency - Configures the frequency of the stereo pilot tone.
-pilot_deviation - Configures pilot tone frequency deviation level.
-pilot_enabled - Enables or disables the pilot tone feature.
-
-* The si4713 device is capable of applying audio compression to the transmitted signal.
-
-acomp_enabled - Enables or disables the audio dynamic range control feature.
-acomp_gain - Sets the gain for audio dynamic range control.
-acomp_threshold - Sets the threshold level for audio dynamic range control.
-acomp_attack_time - Sets the attack time for audio dynamic range control.
-acomp_release_time - Sets the release time for audio dynamic range control.
-
-* Limiter setups audio deviation limiter feature. Once a over deviation occurs,
-it is possible to adjust the front-end gain of the audio input and always
-prevent over deviation.
-
-limiter_enabled - Enables or disables the limiter feature.
-limiter_deviation - Configures audio frequency deviation level.
-limiter_release_time - Sets the limiter release time.
-
-* Tuning power
-
-power_level - Sets the output power level for signal transmission.
-antenna_capacitor - This selects the value of antenna tuning capacitor manually
-or automatically if set to zero.
-
-* RDS related
-
-rds_ps_name - Sets the RDS ps name field for transmission.
-rds_radio_text - Sets the RDS radio text for transmission.
-rds_pi - Sets the RDS PI field for transmission.
-rds_pty - Sets the RDS PTY field for transmission.
-
-* Region related
-
-preemphasis - sets the preemphasis to be applied for transmission.
-
-RNL
-===
-
-This device also has an interface to measure received noise level. To do that, you should
-ioctl the device node. Here is an code of example:
-
-int main (int argc, char *argv[])
-{
- struct si4713_rnl rnl;
- int fd = open("/dev/radio0", O_RDWR);
- int rval;
-
- if (argc < 2)
- return -EINVAL;
-
- if (fd < 0)
- return fd;
-
- sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &rnl.frequency);
-
- rval = ioctl(fd, SI4713_IOC_MEASURE_RNL, &rnl);
- if (rval < 0)
- return rval;
-
- printf("received noise level: %d\n", rnl.rnl);
-
- close(fd);
-}
-
-The struct si4713_rnl and SI4713_IOC_MEASURE_RNL are defined under
-include/linux/platform_data/media/si4713.h.
-
-Stereo/Mono and RDS subchannels
-===============================
-
-The device can also be configured using the available sub channels for
-transmission. To do that use S/G_MODULATOR ioctl and configure txsubchans properly.
-Refer to the V4L2 API specification for proper use of this ioctl.
-
-Testing
-=======
-Testing is usually done with v4l2-ctl utility for managing FM tuner cards.
-The tool can be found in v4l-dvb repository under v4l2-apps/util directory.
-
-Example for setting rds ps name:
-# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --set-ctrl=rds_ps_name="Dummy"
