The SI476x Driver
=================
Copyright |copy| 2013 Andrey Smirnov <andrew.smirnov@gmail.com>
TODO for the driver
-------------------
- According to the SiLabs' datasheet it is possible to update the
firmware of the radio chip in the run-time, thus bringing it to the
most recent version. Unfortunately I couldn't find any mentioning of
the said firmware update for the old chips that I tested the driver
against, so for chips like that the driver only exposes the old
functionality.
Parameters exposed over debugfs
-------------------------------
SI476x allow user to get multiple characteristics that can be very
useful for EoL testing/RF performance estimation, parameters that have
very little to do with V4L2 subsystem. Such parameters are exposed via
debugfs and can be accessed via regular file I/O operations.
The drivers exposes following files:
* /sys/kernel/debug/<device-name>/acf
This file contains ACF(Automatically Controlled Features) status
information. The contents of the file is binary data of the
following layout:
.. tabularcolumns:: |p{7ex}|p{12ex}|L|
============= ============== ====================================
Offset Name Description

0x00 blend_int Flag, set when stereo separation has
crossed below the blend threshold
0x01 hblend_int Flag, set when HiBlend cutoff
frequency is lower than threshold
0x02 hicut_int Flag, set when HiCut cutoff
frequency is lower than threshold
0x03 chbw_int Flag, set when channel filter
bandwidth is less than threshold
0x04 softmute_int Flag indicating that softmute
attenuation has increased above
softmute threshold
