+CEC Pin framework
+-----------------
+
+Most CEC hardware operates on full CEC messages where the software provides
+the message and the hardware handles the low-level CEC protocol. But some
+hardware only drives the CEC pin and software has to handle the low-level
+CEC protocol. The CEC pin framework was created to handle such devices.
+
+Note that due to the close-to-realtime requirements it can never be guaranteed
+to work 100%. This framework uses highres timers internally, but if a
+timer goes off too late by more than 300 microseconds wrong results can
+occur. In reality it appears to be fairly reliable.
+
+One advantage of this low-level implementation is that it can be used as
+a cheap CEC analyser, especially if interrupts can be used to detect
+CEC pin transitions from low to high or vice versa.

+
+CEC Notifier framework
+-----------------
+
+Most drm HDMI implementations have an integrated CEC implementation and no
+notifier support is needed. But some have independent CEC implementations
+that have their own driver. This could be an IP block for an SoC or a
+completely separate chip that deals with the CEC pin. For those cases a
+drm driver can install a notifier and use the notifier to inform the
+CEC driver about changes in the physical address.
