1* Import drivers using VCHI. 2 3VCHI is just a tool to let drivers talk to the firmware. Here are 4some of the ones we want: 5 6 - vc_mem (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/blob/rpi-4.4.y/drivers/char/broadcom/vc_mem.c) 7 8 This driver is what the vcdbg userspace program uses to set up its 9 requests to the firmware, which are transmitted across VCHIQ. vcdbg 10 is really useful for debugging firmware interactions. 11 12 - VCSM (https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/tree/rpi-4.4.y/drivers/char/broadcom/vc_sm) 13 14 This driver is used for talking about regions of VC memory across 15 firmware protocols including VCHI. We'll want to extend this driver 16 to manage these buffers as dmabufs so that we can zero-copy import 17 camera images into vc4 for rendering/display. 18 19* Documentation 20 21A short top-down description of this driver's architecture (function of 22kthreads, userspace, limitations) could be very helpful for reviewers. 23 24* Reformat core code with more sane indentations 25 26The code follows the 80 characters limitation yet tends to go 3 or 4 levels of 27indentation deep making it very unpleasant to read. This is specially relevant 28in the character driver ioctl code and in the core thread functions. 29
