      [media] v4l: ti-vpe: Add helpers for creating VPDMA descriptors · 213b8ee4
      Archit Taneja authored 
      Create functions which the VPE driver can use to create a VPDMA
descriptor and add it to a VPDMA descriptor list. These functions take a
pointer to an existing list, and append the configuration/data/control
descriptor header to the list.

In the case of configuration descriptors, the creation of a payload
block may be required(the payloads can hold VPE MMR values, or scaler
coefficients). The allocation of the payload buffer and it's content is
left to the VPE driver. However, the VPDMA library provides helper
macros to create payload in the correct format.

Add debug functions to dump the descriptors in a way such that it's easy
to see the values of different fields in the descriptors.

      [media] v4l: ti-vpe: Create a vpdma helper library · 9262e5a2
      Archit Taneja authored 
      The primary function of VPDMA is to move data between external memory
and internal processing modules(in our case, VPE) that source or sink
data. VPDMA is capable of buffering this data and then delivering the
data as demanded to the modules as programmed. The modules that source
or sink data are referred to as clients or ports. A channel is setup
inside the VPDMA to connect a specific memory buffer to a specific
client. The VPDMA centralizes the DMA control functions and buffering
required to allow all the clients to minimize the effect of long latency
times.

Add the following to the VPDMA helper:

- A data struct which describe VPDMA channels. For now, these channels
  are the ones used only by VPE, the list of channels will increase when
  VIP(Video Input Port) also uses the VPDMA library. This channel
  information will be used to populate fields required by data
  descriptors.

- Data structs which describe the different data types supported by
  VPDMA. This data type information will be used to populate fields
  required by data descriptors and used by the VPE driver to map a V4L2
  format to the corresponding VPDMA data type.

- Provide VPDMA register offset definitions, functions to read, write
  and modify VPDMA registers.

- Functions to create and submit a VPDMA list. A list is a group of
  descriptors that makes up a set of DMA transfers that need to be
  completed. Each descriptor will either perform a DMA transaction to
  fetch input buffers and write to output buffers(data descriptors), or
  configure the MMRs of sub blocks of VPE(configuration descriptors), or
  provide control information to VPDMA (control descriptors).

- Functions to allocate, map and unmap buffers needed for the descriptor
  list, payloads containing MMR values and scaler coefficients. These use
  the DMA mapping APIs to ensure exclusive access to VPDMA.

- Functions to enable VPDMA interrupts. VPDMA can trigger an interrupt
  on the VPE interrupt line when a descriptor list is parsed completely
  and the DMA transactions are completed. This requires masking the events
  in VPDMA registers and configuring some top level VPE interrupt
  registers.

- Enable some VPDMA specific parameters: frame start event(when to start
  DMA for a client) and line mode(whether each line fetched should be
  mirrored or not).

- Function to load firmware required by VPDMA. VPDMA requires a firmware
  for it's internal list manager. We add the required request_firmware
  apis to fetch this firmware from user space.

- Function to dump VPDMA registers.

- A function to initialize and create a VPDMA instance, this will be
  called by the VPE driver with it's platform device pointer, this
  function will take care of loading VPDMA firmware and returning a
  vpdma_data instance back to the VPE driver. The VIP driver will also
  call the same init function to initialize it's own VPDMA instance.
