Subject: [PATCH v11 0/4] Add a glossary for the media subsystem
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2020 11:16:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1598606093.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> (raw)
There are too many technical terms at the media subsystem, and sometimes
the same thing is refered differently at the documentation and on the ML
and IRC discussions.
Let's add a glossary to the uAPI documentation, in order to start using
a common vocabulary at the subsystem's discussion and to let things
clearer for people trying to understand the subsystem.
I'm pretty sure that this document doesn't cover everything, but it can
(and should) be improved overtime.
On version 11, I addressed the comments from Sakari over the past
version with some text improvements on a couple of paragraphs.
Mauro Carvalho Chehab (4):
media: open.rst: better document device node naming
media: open.rst: remove the minor number range
media: docs: add glossary.rst with common terms used at V4L2 spec
media: open.rst: document mc-centric and video-node-centric
