d68b687b1e V4L/DVB: cx18: rework cx18-alsa module loading to support automatic loading
Restructure the way the module gets loaded so that it gets loaded automatically
when cx18 is loaded, and make it work properly if there are multiple cards
present (since the old code would only take one opportunity to connect to cx18
instances when the module first loaded).

efc0b127b2 V4L/DVB (13902): cx18: Update MPEG Index stream buffers module option processing
Update the module options related to INDEX stream buffer allocation.  A single
CX2341[5678] index entry is only 24 bytes.  Large buffers for the IDX stream
will prevent the CX23418 from transferring index data over at all.  Buffers
of around 1.5 kB or 64 index entries seem to be just fine.  We'll default to
63 buffers/MDLs as that is the firmware limit per stream and IDX stream buffers
are not high rate.  There is no reason on earth to allocate the previous 1 MB
default of buffer space for the IDX stream.

This is in anticipation of implementing the G_ENC_INDEX ioctl() in the cx18
driver.

22dce188ef V4L/DVB (13430): cx18: Fix YUV capture so that encoder passes a single frame per transfer
Fix YUV capture such that the encoder will pass one frame per transfer.  This
will allow the application to maintain frame alignment when a transfer from
the encoder is missed due to high system latency in service the CX23418 IRQ.

Also force YUV buffer sizes to be specified in multiples of 33.75 kB, the
smalled amount of buffer sizes need to store a complete set of HM12 4:2:0
macroblocks specifying 32 lines of the frame.  A full 60Hz/525 line
screen requires 15 * 33.75 kB per frame and a full 50Hz/625 line screen
requires 18 * 33.75 kB per frame so the default buffer size is 3 * 33.75 kB,
requiring exactly 5 or 6 buffers per MDL respectively.  The bytes needed per
frame and hence MDL need not be the bytes in an integer number of buffers.
However, if frame artifacts are seen with scaled screen sizes, the YUV buffer
size can be set 34 kB (33.75 kB) to get rid of the artifacts at the cost of more
copies between the kernel and userspace.

The service_set field was used to determine whether raw or sliced VBI was

Instead the driver should check on VIDIOC_S_FMT whether the type
field matches the raw or sliced VBI type.

cx18_start_v4l2_encode_stream() that didn't exist in ivtv.

Remove MMIO statistics logging to speed up MMIO accesses.  Deprecate & ignore
retry_mmio and mmio_ndelay module parameters, to essentially force
retry_mmio=1 and mmio_ndelay=0.

18b5dc2ed7 V4L/DVB (9721): cx18: Change to singlethreaded global work queue thread for deferable work
Change to singlethreaded global work queue thread for deferable work,
instead of the kernel default multithreaded work queue.  This ensures
execution of deferable work is always in the proper order, so caputred buffers
don't get reordered.

ee2d64f5cc V4L/DVB (9720): cx18: Major rewrite of interrupt handling for incoming mailbox processing
A major rewrite of interrupt handling for incoming mailbox processing, to split
the timing critical steps from the the deferrable steps as the sending XPU on
the CX23418 will time out and overwrite our incoming mailboxes rather quickly.
Setup a pool of work "order forms" for the irq handler to send jobs to the new
work handler routine which uses the kernel default work queue to do the
deferrable work.  Started optimizing some of the cx18-io calls as they are now
the low hanging fruit for recoving microseconds back from the timeline.
Future optimizations will get rid of mmio read retries, mmio stats logging, and
combine smaller functions in the irq path into the larger ones to save ~2 us
each.

330c6ec894 V4L/DVB (9596): cx18: Further changes to improve mailbox protocol integrity & performnce
All waits for cx18 mailbox API commands are now uninterruptable.  Added
code to collect mailbox ack statistics.  Tweaked timeouts based on collected
stats and video vertical frame and field rates.
