Merge tag 'arm-boardfile-remove-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc
Pull ARM SoC boardfile updates from Arnd Bergmann "Unused boardfile removal for 6.3 This is a follow-up to the deprecation of most of the old-style board files that was merged in linux-6.0, removing them for good. This branch is almost exclusively dead code removal based on those annotations. Some device driver removals went through separate subsystem trees, but the majority is in the same branch, in order to better handle dependencies between the patches and avoid breaking bisection. Unfortunately that leads to merge conflicts against other changes in the subsystem trees, but they should all be trivial to resolve by removing the files. See commit 7d0d3fa7339e ("Merge tag 'arm-boardfiles-6.0' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc") for the description of which machines were marked unused and are now removed. The only removals that got postponed are Terastation WXL (mv78xx0) and Jornada720 (StrongARM1100), which turned out to still have potential users" * tag 'arm-boardfile-remove-6.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc: (91 commits) mmc: omap: drop TPS65010 dependency ARM: pxa: restore mfp-pxa320.h usb: ohci-omap: avoid unused-variable warning ARM: debug: remove references in DEBUG_UART_8250_SHIFT to removed configs ARM: s3c: remove obsolete s3c-cpu-freq header MAINTAINERS: adjust SAMSUNG SOC CLOCK DRIVERS after s3c24xx support removal MAINTAINERS: update file entries after arm multi-platform rework and mach-pxa removal ARM: remove CONFIG_UNUSED_BOARD_FILES mfd: remove htc-pasic3 driver w1: remove ds1wm driver usb: remove ohci-tmio driver fbdev: remove w100fb driver fbdev: remove tmiofb driver mmc: remove tmio_mmc driver mfd: remove ucb1400 support mfd: remove toshiba tmio drivers rtc: remove v3020 driver power: remove pda_power supply driver ASoC: pxa: remove unused board support pcmcia: remove unused pxa/sa1100 drivers ...

-The VPBE V4L2 driver design
-===========================
-
-Functional partitioning
------------------------
-
-Consists of the following:
-
- 1. V4L2 display driver
-
- Implements creation of video2 and video3 device nodes and
- provides v4l2 device interface to manage VID0 and VID1 layers.
-
- 2. Display controller
-
- Loads up VENC, OSD and external encoders such as ths8200. It provides
- a set of API calls to V4L2 drivers to set the output/standards
- in the VENC or external sub devices. It also provides
- a device object to access the services from OSD subdevice
- using sub device ops. The connection of external encoders to VENC LCD
- controller port is done at init time based on default output and standard
- selection or at run time when application change the output through
- V4L2 IOCTLs.
-
- When connected to an external encoder, vpbe controller is also responsible
- for setting up the interface between VENC and external encoders based on
- board specific settings (specified in board-xxx-evm.c). This allows
- interfacing external encoders such as ths8200. The setup_if_config()
- is implemented for this as well as configure_venc() (part of the next patch)
- API to set timings in VENC for a specific display resolution. As of this
- patch series, the interconnection and enabling and setting of the external
- encoders is not present, and would be a part of the next patch series.
-
- 3. VENC subdevice module
-
- Responsible for setting outputs provided through internal DACs and also
- setting timings at LCD controller port when external encoders are connected
- at the port or LCD panel timings required. When external encoder/LCD panel
- is connected, the timings for a specific standard/preset is retrieved from
- the board specific table and the values are used to set the timings in
- venc using non-standard timing mode.
-
- Support LCD Panel displays using the VENC. For example to support a Logic
- PD display, it requires setting up the LCD controller port with a set of
- timings for the resolution supported and setting the dot clock. So we could
- add the available outputs as a board specific entry (i.e add the "LogicPD"
- output name to board-xxx-evm.c). A table of timings for various LCDs
- supported can be maintained in the board specific setup file to support
- various LCD displays.As of this patch a basic driver is present, and this
- support for external encoders and displays forms a part of the next
- patch series.
-
- 4. OSD module
-
- OSD module implements all OSD layer management and hardware specific
- features. The VPBE module interacts with the OSD for enabling and
- disabling appropriate features of the OSD.
-
-Current status
---------------
-
-A fully functional working version of the V4L2 driver is available. This
-driver has been tested with NTSC and PAL standards and buffer streaming.
