* docs: Document cross-referencing using relative pathNícolas F. R. A. Prado2021-02-041-10/+20
| | | | | | | | | | Update the Cross-referencing section to explain how to create a cross-reference to a document using relative paths and with no additional syntax, by relying on automarkup.py.

* Documentation: doc-guide: fixes to sphinx.rstRandy Dunlap2020-12-311-16/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various fixes to sphinx.rst: - eliminate a double-space between 2 words - grammar/wording - punctuation - call rows in a table 'rows' instead of 'columns' (or does Sphinx call everything a column?) - It seems that "amdfonts" should be "amsfonts". I can't find any amdfonts.

So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and making it in good shape. - Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs; - Added an ov2740 image sensor driver; - The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog standards; - Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera is located at the device; - VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices; - Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups. * tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (503 commits) media: Documentation: media: Refer to mbus format documentation from CSI-2 docs media: s5k5baf: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array media: i2c: imx219: Drop <linux/clk-provider.h> and <linux/clkdev.h> media: i2c: Add ov2740 image sensor driver media: ov8856: Implement sensor module revision identification media: ov8856: Add devicetree support media: dt-bindings: ov8856: Document YAML bindings media: dvb-usb: Add Cinergy S2 PCIe Dual Port support media: dvbdev: Fix tuner->demod media controller link media: dt-bindings: phy: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: move rockchip dphy rx0 bindings out of staging media: staging: dt-bindings: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: remove non-used reg property media: atomisp: unify the version for isp2401 a0 and b0 versions media: atomisp: update TODO with the current data media: atomisp: adjust some code at sh_css that could be broken media: atomisp: don't produce errs for ignored IRQs media: atomisp: print IRQ when debugging media: atomisp: isp_mmu: don't use kmem_cache media: atomisp: add a notice about possible leak resources media: atomisp: disable the dynamic and reserved pools media: atomisp: turn on camera before setting it ...
| * media: docs: move uAPI book to userspace-api/mediaMauro Carvalho Chehab2020-04-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since 2017, there is an space reserved for userspace API, created by changeset 1d596dee3862 ("docs: Create a user-space API guide"). As the media subsystem was one of the first subsystems to use Sphinx, until this patch, we were keeping things on a separate place. Let's just use the new location, as having all uAPI altogether will likely make things easier for developers. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

I made the following changes: - Moved the 'Including kernel-doc comments' section to the end of the document -- we should explain what it *is* before we explain how to integrate it. - Moved the 'Recommendations' subsection to the top. We want people to know what to document before telling them how to do it. - Rewrite the 'Writing kernel-doc comments' section, integrating the 'Recommendations' subsection and a paragraph from 'How to format kernel-doc comments'. - Remove the paragraph about the kernel-doc script; we're supposed to be teaching people how to use punctuation to write pretty documentation, not documenting the build tooling. - Split the 'Parameters and member arguments' section into 'Function parameters' and 'Members'. Structure members are not commonly referred to as arguments. - Integrate the 'private:' and 'public:' tag descriptions into the 'Members' section. - Move the 'In-line member documentation comments' subsection up to be with the 'Members' section.
