+===================
+Firmware Upload API
+===================
+
+A device driver that registers with the firmware loader will expose
+persistent sysfs nodes to enable users to initiate firmware updates for
+that device. It is the responsibility of the device driver and/or the
+device itself to perform any validation on the data received. Firmware
+upload uses the same *loading* and *data* sysfs files described in the
+documentation for firmware fallback. It also adds additional sysfs files
+to provide status on the transfer of the firmware image to the device.
+
+Register for firmware upload
+============================
+
+A device driver registers for firmware upload by calling
+firmware_upload_register(). Among the parameter list is a name to
+identify the device under /sys/class/firmware. A user may initiate a
+firmware upload by echoing a 1 to the *loading* sysfs file for the target
+device. Next, the user writes the firmware image to the *data* sysfs
+file. After writing the firmware data, the user echos 0 to the *loading*
+sysfs file to signal completion. Echoing 0 to *loading* also triggers the
+transfer of the firmware to the lower-lever device driver in the context
+of a kernel worker thread.
+
+To use the firmware upload API, write a driver that implements a set of
+ops. The probe function calls firmware_upload_register() and the remove
+function calls firmware_upload_unregister() such as::
+
+ static const struct fw_upload_ops m10bmc_ops = {
+ .prepare = m10bmc_sec_prepare,
+ .write = m10bmc_sec_write,
+ .poll_complete = m10bmc_sec_poll_complete,

+ struct m10bmc_sec *sec;

+ if (!sec)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+
+ sec->dev = &pdev->dev;
+ sec->m10bmc = dev_get_drvdata(pdev->dev.parent);
+ dev_set_drvdata(&pdev->dev, sec);
+
+ fw_name = dev_name(sec->dev);
+ truncate = strstr(fw_name, ".auto");
+ len = (truncate) ? truncate - fw_name : strlen(fw_name);
+ sec->fw_name = kmemdup_nul(fw_name, len, GFP_KERNEL);
+
+ fwl = firmware_upload_register(sec->dev, sec->fw_name, &m10bmc_ops, sec);
+ if (IS_ERR(fwl)) {
+ dev_err(sec->dev, "Firmware Upload driver failed to start\n");
+ kfree(sec->fw_name);
+ return PTR_ERR(fwl);
+ }
+

+Sysfs Attributes
+================
+

+update could take milliseconds or minutes.
+
+The additional sysfs files are:
+
+* status - provides an indication of the progress of a firmware update
+* error - provides error information for a failed firmware update
+* remaining_size - tracks the data transfer portion of an update
+* cancel - echo 1 to this file to cancel the update

+============================================
+The Linux Hardware Timestamping Engine (HTE)
+============================================
+
+:Author: Dipen Patel
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+Certain devices have built in hardware timestamping engines which can
+monitor sets of system signals, lines, buses etc... in realtime for state
+change; upon detecting the change they can automatically store the timestamp at
+the moment of occurrence. Such functionality may help achieve better accuracy
+in obtaining timestamps than using software counterparts i.e. ktime and
+friends.
+
+This document describes the API that can be used by hardware timestamping
+engine provider and consumer drivers that want to use the hardware timestamping
+engine (HTE) framework. Both consumers and providers must include
+``#include <linux/hte.h>``.
+
+The HTE framework APIs for the providers
+----------------------------------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/hte/hte.c
+ :functions: devm_hte_register_chip hte_push_ts_ns
+
+The HTE framework APIs for the consumers
+----------------------------------------
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/hte/hte.c
+ :functions: hte_init_line_attr hte_ts_get hte_ts_put devm_hte_request_ts_ns hte_request_ts_ns hte_enable_ts hte_disable_ts of_hte_req_count hte_get_clk_src_info
+
+The HTE framework public structures
+-----------------------------------
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/hte.h
+
+More on the HTE timestamp data
+------------------------------
+The ``struct hte_ts_data`` is used to pass timestamp details between the
+consumers and the providers. It expresses timestamp data in nanoseconds in
+u64. An example of the typical timestamp data life cycle, for the GPIO line is
+as follows::
+
+ - Monitors GPIO line change.
+ - Detects the state change on GPIO line.
+ - Converts timestamps in nanoseconds.
+ - Stores GPIO raw level in raw_level variable if the provider has that
+ hardware capability.
+ - Pushes this hte_ts_data object to HTE subsystem.
+ - HTE subsystem increments seq counter and invokes consumer provided callback.
+ Based on callback return value, the HTE core invokes secondary callback in
+ the thread context.
+
+HTE subsystem debugfs attributes
+--------------------------------
+HTE subsystem creates debugfs attributes at ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/``.
+It also creates line/signal-related debugfs attributes at
+``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/<label or line id>/``. Note that these
+attributes are read-only.
+
+`ts_requested`
+ The total number of entities requested from the given provider,
+ where entity is specified by the provider and could represent
+ lines, GPIO, chip signals, buses etc...
+ The attribute will be available at
+ ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/``.
+
+`total_ts`
+ The total number of entities supported by the provider.
+ The attribute will be available at
+ ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/``.
+
+`dropped_timestamps`
+ The dropped timestamps for a given line.
+ The attribute will be available at
+ ``/sys/kernel/debug/hte/<provider>/<label or line id>/``.

+HTE Kernel provider driver
+==========================
+
+Description
+-----------
+The Nvidia tegra194 HTE provider driver implements two GTE
+(Generic Timestamping Engine) instances: 1) GPIO GTE and 2) LIC
+(Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE. Both GTE instances get the
+timestamp from the system counter TSC which has 31.25MHz clock rate, and the
+driver converts clock tick rate to nanoseconds before storing it as timestamp
+value.
+
+GPIO GTE
+--------
+
+This GTE instance timestamps GPIO in real time. For that to happen GPIO
+needs to be configured as input. The always on (AON) GPIO controller instance
+supports timestamping GPIOs in real time and it has 39 GPIO lines. The GPIO GTE
+and AON GPIO controller are tightly coupled as it requires very specific bits
+to be set in GPIO config register before GPIO GTE can be used, for that GPIOLIB
+adds two optional APIs as below. The GPIO GTE code supports both kernel
+and userspace consumers. The kernel space consumers can directly talk to HTE
+subsystem while userspace consumers timestamp requests go through GPIOLIB CDEV
+framework to HTE subsystem.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
+ :functions: gpiod_enable_hw_timestamp_ns gpiod_disable_hw_timestamp_ns
+
+For userspace consumers, GPIO_V2_LINE_FLAG_EVENT_CLOCK_HTE flag must be
+specified during IOCTL calls. Refer to ``tools/gpio/gpio-event-mon.c``, which
+returns the timestamp in nanoseconds.
+
+LIC (Legacy Interrupt Controller) IRQ GTE
+-----------------------------------------
+
+This GTE instance timestamps LIC IRQ lines in real time. There are 352 IRQ

+devicetree binding described at ``Documentation/devicetree/bindings/hte/``
+provides an example of how a consumer can request an IRQ line. Since it is a
+one-to-one mapping with IRQ GTE provider, consumers can simply specify the IRQ
+number that they are interested in. There is no userspace consumer support for
+this GTE instance in the HTE framework.

+The provider source code of both IRQ and GPIO GTE instances is located at

+and GPIO GTE.

+Centrally managed subdev active state
+-------------------------------------
+
+Traditionally V4L2 subdev drivers maintained internal state for the active
+device configuration. This is often implemented as e.g. an array of struct
+v4l2_mbus_framefmt, one entry for each pad, and similarly for crop and compose
+rectangles.
+
+In addition to the active configuration, each subdev file handle has an array of
+struct v4l2_subdev_pad_config, managed by the V4L2 core, which contains the try
+configuration.
+
+To simplify the subdev drivers the V4L2 subdev API now optionally supports a
+centrally managed active configuration represented by
+:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_state`. One instance of state, which contains the active
+device configuration, is stored in the sub-device itself as part of
+the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev` structure, while the core associates a try state to
+each open file handle, to store the try configuration related to that file
+handle.
+
+Sub-device drivers can opt-in and use state to manage their active configuration
+by initializing the subdevice state with a call to v4l2_subdev_init_finalize()
+before registering the sub-device. They must also call v4l2_subdev_cleanup()
+to release all the allocated resources before unregistering the sub-device.
+The core automatically allocates and initializes a state for each open file
+handle to store the try configurations and frees it when closing the file
+handle.
+
+V4L2 sub-device operations that use both the :ref:`ACTIVE and TRY formats
+<v4l2-subdev-format-whence>` receive the correct state to operate on through
+the 'state' parameter. The state must be locked and unlocked by the
+caller by calling :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_lock_state()` and
+:c:func:`v4l2_subdev_unlock_state()`. The caller can do so by calling the subdev
+operation through the :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_call_state_active()` macro.
+
+Operations that do not receive a state parameter implicitly operate on the
+subdevice active state, which drivers can exclusively access by
+calling :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_lock_and_get_active_state()`. The sub-device active
+state must equally be released by calling :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_unlock_state()`.
+
+Drivers must never manually access the state stored in the :c:type:`v4l2_subdev`
+or in the file handle without going through the designated helpers.
+
+While the V4L2 core passes the correct try or active state to the subdevice
+operations, many existing device drivers pass a NULL state when calling
+operations with :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_call()`. This legacy construct causes
+issues with subdevice drivers that let the V4L2 core manage the active state,
+as they expect to receive the appropriate state as a parameter. To help the
+conversion of subdevice drivers to a managed active state without having to
+convert all callers at the same time, an additional wrapper layer has been
+added to v4l2_subdev_call(), which handles the NULL case by geting and locking
+the callee's active state with :c:func:`v4l2_subdev_lock_and_get_active_state()`,
+and unlocking the state after the call.
+
+The whole subdev state is in reality split into three parts: the
+v4l2_subdev_state, subdev controls and subdev driver's internal state. In the
+future these parts should be combined into a single state. For the time being
+we need a way to handle the locking for these parts. This can be accomplished
+by sharing a lock. The v4l2_ctrl_handler already supports this via its 'lock'
+pointer and the same model is used with states. The driver can do the following
+before calling v4l2_subdev_init_finalize():
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ sd->ctrl_handler->lock = &priv->mutex;
+ sd->state_lock = &priv->mutex;
+
+This shares the driver's private mutex between the controls and the states.

+Teletypewriter (TTY) layer takes care of all those serial devices. Including
+the virtual ones like pseudoterminal (PTY).
+
+TTY structures
+==============
+
+There are several major TTY structures. Every TTY device in a system has a
+corresponding struct tty_port. These devices are maintained by a TTY driver
+which is struct tty_driver. This structure describes the driver but also
+contains a reference to operations which could be performed on the TTYs. It is
+struct tty_operations. Then, upon open, a struct tty_struct is allocated and
+lives until the final close. During this time, several callbacks from struct
+tty_operations are invoked by the TTY layer.
+
+Every character received by the kernel (both from devices and users) is passed
+through a preselected :doc:`tty_ldisc` (in
+short ldisc; in C, struct tty_ldisc_ops). Its task is to transform characters
+as defined by a particular ldisc or by user too. The default one is n_tty,
+implementing echoes, signal handling, jobs control, special characters
+processing, and more. The transformed characters are passed further to
+user/device, depending on the source.
+
+In-detail description of the named TTY structures is in separate documents:

+
+Writing TTY Driver
+==================
+
+Before one starts writing a TTY driver, they must consider
+:doc:`Serial <../serial/driver>` and :doc:`USB Serial <../../usb/usb-serial>`
+layers first. Drivers for serial devices can often use one of these specific
+layers to implement a serial driver. Only special devices should be handled
+directly by the TTY Layer. If you are about to write such a driver, read on.
+
+A *typical* sequence a TTY driver performs is as follows:
+
+#. Allocate and register a TTY driver (module init)
+#. Create and register TTY devices as they are probed (probe function)
+#. Handle TTY operations and events like interrupts (TTY core invokes the
+ former, the device the latter)
+#. Remove devices as they are going away (remove function)
+#. Unregister and free the TTY driver (module exit)
+
+Steps regarding driver, i.e. 1., 3., and 5. are described in detail in
+:doc:`tty_driver`. For the other two (devices handling), look into
+:doc:`tty_port`.

+TTY Driver and TTY Operations
+=============================
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+Allocation
+==========
+
+The first thing a driver needs to do is to allocate a struct tty_driver. This
+is done by tty_alloc_driver() (or __tty_alloc_driver()). Next, the newly
+allocated structure is filled with information. See `TTY Driver Reference`_ at
+the end of this document on what actually shall be filled in.
+
+The allocation routines expect a number of devices the driver can handle at
+most and flags. Flags are those starting ``TTY_DRIVER_`` listed and described
+in `TTY Driver Flags`_ below.
+
+When the driver is about to be freed, tty_driver_kref_put() is called on that.
+It will decrements the reference count and if it reaches zero, the driver is
+freed.
+
+For reference, both allocation and deallocation functions are explained here in
+detail:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_io.c
+ :identifiers: __tty_alloc_driver tty_driver_kref_put
+
+TTY Driver Flags
+----------------
+
+Here comes the documentation of flags accepted by tty_alloc_driver() (or
+__tty_alloc_driver()):
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/tty_driver.h
+ :doc: TTY Driver Flags
+
+----
+
+Registration
+============
+
+When a struct tty_driver is allocated and filled in, it can be registered using
+tty_register_driver(). It is recommended to pass ``TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV`` in
+flags of tty_alloc_driver(). If it is not passed, *all* devices are also
+registered during tty_register_driver() and the following paragraph of
+registering devices can be skipped for such drivers. However, the struct
+tty_port part in `Registering Devices`_ is still relevant there.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_io.c
+ :identifiers: tty_register_driver tty_unregister_driver
+
+Registering Devices
+-------------------
+
+Every TTY device shall be backed by a struct tty_port. Usually, TTY drivers
+embed tty_port into device's private structures. Further details about handling
+tty_port can be found in :doc:`tty_port`. The driver is also recommended to use
+tty_port's reference counting by tty_port_get() and tty_port_put(). The final
+put is supposed to free the tty_port including the device's private struct.
+
+Unless ``TTY_DRIVER_DYNAMIC_DEV`` was passed as flags to tty_alloc_driver(),
+TTY driver is supposed to register every device discovered in the system
+(the latter is preferred). This is performed by tty_register_device(). Or by
+tty_register_device_attr() if the driver wants to expose some information
+through struct attribute_group. Both of them register ``index``'th device and
+upon return, the device can be opened. There are also preferred tty_port
+variants described in `Linking Devices to Ports`_ later. It is up to driver to
+manage free indices and choosing the right one. The TTY layer only refuses to
+register more devices than passed to tty_alloc_driver().
+
+When the device is opened, the TTY layer allocates struct tty_struct and starts
+calling operations from :c:member:`tty_driver.ops`, see `TTY Operations
+Reference`_.
+
+The registration routines are documented as follows:
+
+.. kernel-doc:: drivers/tty/tty_io.c
+ :identifiers: tty_register_device tty_register_device_attr
+ tty_unregister_device
+
+----
+
+Linking Devices to Ports
+------------------------
+As stated earlier, every TTY device shall have a struct tty_port assigned to
+it. It must be known to the TTY layer at :c:member:`tty_driver.ops.install()`
+at latest. There are few helpers to *link* the two. Ideally, the driver uses
+tty_port_register_device() or tty_port_register_device_attr() instead of
+tty_register_device() and tty_register_device_attr() at the registration time.
+This way, the driver needs not care about linking later on.
+
+If that is not possible, the driver still can link the tty_port to a specific
+index *before* the actual registration by tty_port_link_device(). If it still
+does not fit, tty_port_install() can be used from the
+:c:member:`tty_driver.ops.install` hook as a last resort. The last one is
+dedicated mostly for in-memory devices like PTY where tty_ports are allocated
+on demand.
+
+The linking routines are documented here:

+TTY Line Discipline
+===================
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+TTY line discipline process all incoming and outgoing character from/to a tty
+device. The default line discipline is :doc:`N_TTY <n_tty>`. It is also a
+fallback if establishing any other discipline for a tty fails. If even N_TTY
+fails, N_NULL takes over. That never fails, but also does not process any
+characters -- it throws them away.
+
+Registration
+============
+
+Line disciplines are registered with tty_register_ldisc() passing the ldisc
+structure. At the point of registration the discipline must be ready to use and
+it is possible it will get used before the call returns success. If the call
+returns an error then it won’t get called. Do not re-use ldisc numbers as they
+are part of the userspace ABI and writing over an existing ldisc will cause
+demons to eat your computer. You must not re-register over the top of the line
+discipline even with the same data or your computer again will be eaten by
+demons. In order to remove a line discipline call tty_unregister_ldisc().
+
+Heed this warning: the reference count field of the registered copies of the
+tty_ldisc structure in the ldisc table counts the number of lines using this
+discipline. The reference count of the tty_ldisc structure within a tty counts
+the number of active users of the ldisc at this instant. In effect it counts
+the number of threads of execution within an ldisc method (plus those about to
+enter and exit although this detail matters not).

+Driver Access
+=============
+
+Line discipline methods can call the methods of the underlying hardware driver.
+These are documented as a part of struct tty_operations.

+=========
+
+Line discipline methods have access to :c:member:`tty_struct.flags` field. See
+:doc:`tty_struct`.
+
+Locking
+=======
+
+Callers to the line discipline functions from the tty layer are required to

+but not yet enforced.

+
+While these functions are slightly slower than the old code they should have
+minimal impact as most receive logic uses the flip buffers and they only
+need to take a reference when they push bits up through the driver.
+
+A caution: The :c:member:`tty_ldisc_ops.open()`,
+:c:member:`tty_ldisc_ops.close()` and :c:member:`tty_driver.set_ldisc()`
+functions are called with the ldisc unavailable. Thus tty_ldisc_ref() will fail
+in this situation if used within these functions. Ldisc and driver code
+calling its own functions must be careful in this case.
