pvrusb2: Encoder failures are mostly recoverable by the driver. While
it would sure be nice not to have the failure happen in the first
place, this has been going on for years and I doubt that a real
solution will ever present itself. I think that part's firmware is
just slightly flakey and we have to deal with it. The driver does
deal with it just fine, but the warning message going into the kernel
log is probably a little more alarming than it should be. So try to
soften up the warning somewhat.

Implement timed measurement of encoder operation for the first time it
is run. This allows the driver to note when the encoder has been run
successfully for at least 1/4 second. On top of that implement
various bits to ensure that the encoder has been run once before
digital streaming for OnAir devices. This is done via several core
state machine tweaks.

The pvrusb2 driver has used hardcoded logic to control the LED on the
device. However this is really Hauppauge-specific behavior. This
change defines a new device attribute for LED control and sets things
up appropriately for Hauppauge devices.

Most of this originates from Michael Krufky <mkrufky@linuxtv.org>;
these changes move LED control into separate functions. This is the

The pvrusb2 driver has been successfully recovering from a crashed
encoder now for over 2 years. I think it's time to reduce the
perceived severity of the warning message. While I'd still very much
like to stop these crashes, the recovery logic is solid enough that
the problem is effectively benign. No point in panicing the users
over it.

The pvrusb2 driver currently supports two variants of the Hauppauge
PVR USB2. However there are other hardware types potentially
supportable, but the driver at the moment is not structured to make it
easy to describe these minor variations. This changeset is the first
set of changes to make such additional device support possible.
Device attributes are held in several tables all contained within
pvrusb2-devattr.c; all other device-specific driver behavior now
derives from these tables.

This is a new implementation for video pipeline control within the
pvrusb2 driver. Actual start/stop of the pipeline is moved to the
driver's kernel thread. Pipeline stages are controlled autonomously
based on surrounding pipeline or application control state. Kernel
thread management is also cleaned up and moved into the internal
control structure of the driver, solving a set up / tear down race
along the way. Better failure recovery is implemented with this new
control strategy. Also with this change comes better control of the
cx23416 encoder, building on additional information learned about the
peculiarities of controlling this part (this information was the
original trigger for this rework). With this change, overall encoder
stability should be considerably improved. Yes, this is a large
change for this driver, but due to the nature of the feature being
worked on, the changes are fairly pervasive and would be difficult to
break into smaller pieces with any semblence of step-wise stability.

This patch originated with Servaas Vandenberghe <vdb128@picaros.org>

These changes allow for correct operation of PAL-60 video (Servaas
tested this against a PAL-B/G tuner with the video standard overridden
as a module option).

This is the logic that supports switching modes via e.g.,
echo radio > /sys/class/pvrusb2/sn-*/ctl_input/cur_val.
To do the mode switching we need to:
a) broadcast AUDC_SET_RADIO and
b) issue the CX2341X_ENC_MUTE_VIDEO command to the encoder.
The first is done by adding a new pvr2_i2c_op and having it trigger on
input change, the second by adding this command in pvr2_encoder_start()
and requesting an encoder restart on input change by setting
stale_subsys_mask appropriately.
The clues about AUDC_SET_RADIO and CX2341X_ENC_MUTE_VIDEO were kindly
provided by Hans Verkuil on the pvrusb2 mailing list. The idea to
implement mode switching this way (on input change) is due to Mike Isely.
Why AUDC_SET_RADIO/VIDIOC_S_STD are used for switching? I can 't be sure,
but I think this can be traced to a cornell student being the first to
implement radio support in ivtv "as a different standard". I think the
rest just evolved from there (it 's in the ivtv ML archives).
