A new em28xx card was added upstream. Update cards list accordingly. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-04-22media: admin-guide: add a card list for cx231xx boardsMauro Carvalho Chehab
It is interesting to have a card list also for cx231xx driver, as it currently supports 27 different boards. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-04-21media: imx.rst: Provide streaming examples for imx6q-sabresdFabio Estevam

2020-04-21media: imx.rst: Provide the OV560 module part numberFabio Estevam
In order to improve the documentation, provide the OV5640 MIPI module part number that is used on the imx6q-sabresd board.

2020-04-21media: imx.rst: Provide an example for unprocessed video captureFabio Estevam
The current example for imx6q-sabresd is for a direct conversion pipeline. Provide an extra example using unprocessed video capture for completeness.

2020-04-21media: imx.rst: Fix the MIPI CSI-2 virtual channelFabio Estevam
The current instructions for imx6q-sabresd do not lead to functional capture on OV5640 MIPI CSI-2. The reason for this, as explained by Steve Longerbeam, is that OV5640 by default transmits on virtual channel 0, not channel 1 as is given in the instructions. Adapt the instructions to use virtual channel 0 so that a working camera setup can be achieved on imx6q-sabresd. Also, since we are using an IC direct conversion pipeline, improve the example by demonstrating colorspace and scaling.

2020-04-15media: docs: get rid of obsoleted udev documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab
This file is very old, and doesn't match the current udev behavior. I wanted to preserve it, because we'll need some udev description some day about how to keep names unique, but there's nothing here to help with that... So, be it: let's just discard this document, as it doesn't provide anything useful anymore. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-04-15media: docs: zr364xx: update documentationMauro Carvalho Chehab

2020-04-15media: docs: update bttv.rst informationMauro Carvalho Chehab
This document is... old. The bttv driver was one of the first drivers at the Kernel. So, the document became a little obsoleted. Update it to reflect some changes that happened along the time affecting this driver and the subsystem. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>
2020-04-15media: docs: bt8xx.rst: update document infoMauro Carvalho Chehab
