[linux-dvb] Re: Proposal for new frontend architecture



well... this leads all the ideas of the early mails in this thread ad absurdum: you introduce another strong interdependency á la kernel-i2c id's between dvb-core and the lowlevel driver code, make it impossible to write independent and robust standalone drivers without touching the core too.

not to mention that all the recent patchsets have much more '+' than minus signs... our code gets more and more bloated without adding any new functionality or improving readability.

what again was the intention of this patch?

Hi,

please have a look at the attached patch, it implements the basic ideas how to make the dvb adapter of the frontends.

If you want to try it out, you need to apply my patch that adds a command function to the i2c adapter and recompile your kernel. ;-)

Ok, the patch adds some generic stuff to dvb_frontend.h:
------------------------------------schnipp------------------------
* generic */
struct dvb_fe_identifier {
int id; /* should be i2c_driver->id, must be first */
};
/* stv0299 specific stuff */
#define PHILIPS_SU1278_TSA 0 // SU1278 with TSA5059 synth and datasheet recommended settings
#define ALPS_BSRU6 1
#define LG_TDQF_S001F 2
#define PHILIPS_SU1278_TUA 3 // SU1278 with TUA6100 synth
#define SAMSUNG_TBMU24112IMB 4
#define PHILIPS_SU1278_TSA_TT 5 // SU1278 with TSA5059 synth and TechnoTrend settings
#define PHILIPS_SU1278_TSA_TY 6 // SU1278 with TUA5059 synth and Typhoon wiring
#define PHILIPS_SU1278_TSA_CI 7 // SU1278 with TUA5059 synth and TerraTec Cinergy wiring

struct dvb_stv0299 {
struct dvb_fe_identifier id; /* must be first */
int tuner_type;
};
[...]
#define DVB_IDENTIFY_FE _IO ('v', 90)
------------------------------------schnipp------------------------

Currently, the tuner_type is queried from the dvb adapter before actually probing the frontend using the DVB_IDENTIFY_FE ioctl through the new i2c adapter command in the stv0299 driver.

The dvb adapter knows everything about the underlying hardware and can decide if this frontend can exist and what configuration is best. So the command function in av7110.c looks like this:

------------------------------------schnipp------------------------
+static int command(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, unsigned int cmd, void *arg)
+{
+ struct dvb_fe_identifier *id = arg;
+ + if (id->id == I2C_DRIVERID_DVBFE_STV0299) {
+ struct dvb_stv0299 *identify = arg;
+ printk("dvb-ttpci: %s(): type set to ALPS_BSRU6.\n", __FUNCTION__);
+ identify->tuner_type = ALPS_BSRU6;
+ return 0;
+ } else if (id->id == I2C_DRIVERID_DVBFE_VES1X93) {
+ printk("dvb-ttpci: %s(): accepted VES1x93.\n", __FUNCTION__);
+ return 0;
+ }
+ + printk("dvb-ttpci: %s(): unknown frontend\n", __FUNCTION__);
+ return -1;
+}
------------------------------------schnipp------------------------

Of course some more fancy detection (for example with PCI ids) is necessary here.

The stv0299 falls back to probing when the adapter doesn't support the command function or the ioctl fails.

Of course more sophisticated stuff can be exported via struct dvb_stv0299, for example the pll functions.

What do you think?

CU
Michael.
