Subject: [PATCH 00/50] staging: vchiq: Getting rid of the vchi/vchiq split
Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2020 18:41:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200623164235.29566-1-nsaenzjulienne@suse.de> (raw)

vchi acts as a mid layer between vchiq and its kernel services, while
arguably providing little to no benefit: half of the functions exposed
are a 1:1 copy of vchiq's, and the rest provide some functionality which
can be easly integrated into vchiq without all the churn. Moreover it
has been found in the past as a blockage to further fixes in vchiq as
every change needed its vchi counterpart, if even possible.

Hence this series, which merges all vchi functionality into vchiq and
provies a simpler and more concise API to services.

I'm aware that kernel's vchi API tries to mimic its userspace
counterpart (or vice versa). Obviously this breaks the parity, but I
don't think it's a sane goal to have. There is little sense or gain from
it, and adds impossible constraints to upstreaming the driver.

Overall this fall short of removing 1100 lines of code, which is pretty
neat on itself.

So far it has been tested trough bcm2835-camera, audio and vchiq-test. I
can't do much about vc-sm-cma for now as it's only available downstream,
but I made sure not to break anything and will provide some patches for
the RPi devs to pick-up, so as to make their life easier.

Note that in order to keep the divergence between the downstream and
upstream versions of this as small as possible I picked up some
mmal-vchiq patches that might not be absolutely necessary to the goal of
the series.

Regards,
Nicolas
