+Optional: Implementing Error Injection Support
+----------------------------------------------
+
+If the CEC adapter supports Error Injection functionality, then that can
+be exposed through the Error Injection callbacks:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ struct cec_adap_ops {
+ /* Low-level callbacks */
+ ...
+
+ /* Error injection callbacks */
+ int (*error_inj_show)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct seq_file *sf);
+ bool (*error_inj_parse_line)(struct cec_adapter *adap, char *line);
+
+ /* High-level CEC message callback */
+ ...
+ };
+
+If both callbacks are set, then an ``error-inj`` file will appear in debugfs.
+The basic syntax is as follows:
+
+Leading spaces/tabs are ignored. If the next character is a ``#`` or the end of the
+line was reached, then the whole line is ignored. Otherwise a command is expected.
+
+This basic parsing is done in the CEC Framework. It is up to the driver to decide
+what commands to implement. The only requirement is that the command ``clear`` without
+any arguments must be implemented and that it will remove all current error injection
+commands.
+
+This ensures that you can always do ``echo clear >error-inj`` to clear any error
+injections without having to know the details of the driver-specific commands.
+
+Note that the output of ``error-inj`` shall be valid as input to ``error-inj``.
+So this must work:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ $ cat error-inj >einj.txt
+ $ cat einj.txt >error-inj
+
+The first callback is called when this file is read and it should show the
+the current error injection state:
+
+.. c:function::
+ int (*error_inj_show)(struct cec_adapter *adap, struct seq_file *sf);
+
+It is recommended that it starts with a comment block with basic usage
+information. It returns 0 for success and an error otherwise.
+
+The second callback will parse commands written to the ``error-inj`` file:
+
+.. c:function::
+ bool (*error_inj_parse_line)(struct cec_adapter *adap, char *line);
+
+The ``line`` argument points to the start of the command. Any leading
+spaces or tabs have already been skipped. It is a single line only (so there
+are no embedded newlines) and it is 0-terminated. The callback is free to
+modify the contents of the buffer. It is only called for lines containing a
+command, so this callback is never called for empty lines or comment lines.
+
+Return true if the command was valid or false if there were syntax errors.
