/* general description */
/* =================== */

/* Should ease the (re-)usage of drivers supporting cards with (different)
   video codecs. The codecs register to this module their functionality,
   and the processors (masters) can attach to them if they fit.

   The codecs are typically have a "strong" binding to their master - so I
   don't think it makes sense to have a full blown interfacing as with e.g.
   i2c. If you have an other opinion, let's discuss & implement it :-)))

   Usage:

   The slave has just to setup the videocodec structure and use two functions:
   videocodec_register(codecdata);
   videocodec_unregister(codecdata);
   The best is just calling them at module (de-)initialisation.

   The master sets up the structure videocodec_master and calls:
   codecdata=videocodec_attach(master_codecdata);
   videocodec_detach(codecdata);

   The slave is called during attach/detach via functions setup previously
   during register. At that time, the master_data pointer is set up
   and the slave can access any io registers of the master device (in the case
   the slave is bound to it). Otherwise it doesn't need this functions and
   therfor they may not be initialized.

   The other functions are just for convenience, as they are for sure used by
   most/all of the codecs. The last ones may be omitted, too.

   See the structure declaration below for more information and which data has
   to be set up for the master and the slave.

   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   The master should have "knowledge" of the slave and vice versa.  So the data
   structures sent to/from slave via set_data/get_data set_image/get_image are
   device dependent and vary between MJPEG/MPEG/WAVELET/... devices. (!!!!)

/* ========================================== */

/*
   ==== master setup ====
   name -> name of the device structure for reference and debugging
   master_data ->  data ref. for the master (e.g. the zr36055,57,67)
   readreg -> ref. to read-fn from register (setup by master, used by slave)
   writereg -> ref. to write-fn to register (setup by master, used by slave)
           this two functions do the lowlevel I/O job

   ==== slave functionality setup ====
   slave_data -> data ref. for the slave (e.g. the zr36050,60)
   check -> fn-ref. checks availability of an device, returns -EIO on failure or
        the type on success
        this makes espcecially sense if a driver module supports more than
        one codec which may be quite similar to access, nevertheless it
        is good for a first functionality check

   -- main functions you always need for compression/decompression --

   set_mode -> this fn-ref. resets the entire codec, and sets up the mode
           with the last defined norm/size (or device default if not
           available) - it returns 0 if the mode is possible
   set_size -> this fn-ref. sets the norm and image size for
           compression/decompression (returns 0 on success)
           the norm param is defined in videodev2.h (V4L2_STD_*)

   additional setup may be available, too - but the codec should work with
   some default values even without this

   set_data -> sets device-specific data (tables, quality etc.)
   get_data -> query device-specific data (tables, quality etc.)

   if the device delivers interrupts, they may be setup/handled here
   setup_interrupt -> codec irq setup (not needed for 36050/60)
   handle_interrupt -> codec irq handling (not needed for 36050/60)

   if the device delivers pictures, they may be handled here
   put_image -> puts image data to the codec (not needed for 36050/60)
   get_image -> gets image data from the codec (not needed for 36050/60)
        the calls include frame numbers and flags (even/odd/...)
        if needed and a flag which allows blocking until its ready

/*
   Currently there is only a information display planned, as the layer
   is not visible for the user space at all.

   Information is available via procfs. The current entry is "/proc/videocodecs"
   but it makes sense to "hide" it in the /proc/video tree of v4l(2) --TODO--.

A example for such an output is:

<S>lave or attached <M>aster name  type flags    magic    (connected as)
S                          zr36050 0002 0000d001 00000000 (TEMPLATE)
M                       zr36055[0] 0001 0000c001 00000000 (zr36050[0])
M                       zr36055[1] 0001 0000c001 00000000 (zr36050[1])
