A virtual stateless device for stateless uAPI development purposes.
This tool's objective is to help the development and testing of
userspace applications that use the V4L2 stateless API to decode media.
A userspace implementation can use visl to run a decoding loop even when
no hardware is available or when the kernel uAPI for the codec has not
been upstreamed yet. This can reveal bugs at an early stage.
This driver can also trace the contents of the V4L2 controls submitted
to it. It can also dump the contents of the vb2 buffers through a
debugfs interface. This is in many ways similar to the tracing
infrastructure available for other popular encode/decode APIs out there
and can help develop a userspace application by using another (working)
one as a reference.
Note that no actual decoding of video frames is performed by visl. The
V4L2 test pattern generator is used to write various debug information
to the capture buffers instead.

Currently, the idems inside media Kconfig are out of order.
Sort them using the script below:
<script>
use strict;
use warnings;
my %config;
my @source;
my $out;
sub flush_config()
{
if (scalar %config) {
for my $c (sort keys %config) {
$out .= $config{$c} . "\n";
}
%config = ();
}
return if (!scalar @source);
$out .= "\n";
for my $s (sort @source) {
$out .= $s;
}
$out .= "\n";
@source = ();
}
sub sort_kconfig($)
{
my $fname = shift;
my $cur_config = "";
@source = ();
$out = "";
%config = ();
open IN, $fname or die;
while (<IN>) {
if (m/^config\s+(.*)/) {
$cur_config = $1;
$config{$cur_config} .= $_;
} elsif (m/^source\s+(.*)/) {
push @source, $_;
} elsif (m/^\s+/) {
if ($cur_config eq "") {
$out .= $_;
} else {
$config{$cur_config} .= $_;
}
} else {
flush_config();
$cur_config = "";
$out .= $_;
}
}
close IN or die;
flush_config();
$out =~ s/\n\n+/\n\n/g;
$out =~ s/\n+$/\n/;
open OUT, ">$fname";
print OUT $out;
close OUT;
}
for my $fname(@ARGV) {
sort_kconfig $fname
}
</script>

media Kconfig has two entries associated to V4L API:
VIDEO_DEV and VIDEO_V4L2.
On Kernel 2.6.x, there were two V4L APIs, each one with its own flag.
VIDEO_DEV were meant to:
1) enable Video4Linux and make its Kconfig options to appear;
2) it makes the Kernel build the V4L core.
while VIDEO_V4L2 where used to distinguish between drivers that
implement the newer API and drivers that implemented the former one.
With time, such meaning changed, specially after the removal of
all V4L version 1 drivers.
At the current implementation, VIDEO_DEV only does (1): it enables
the media options related to V4L, that now has:
menu "Video4Linux options"
visible if VIDEO_DEV
source "drivers/media/v4l2-core/Kconfig"
endmenu
but it doesn't affect anymore the V4L core drivers.
The rationale is that the V4L2 core has a "soft" dependency
at the I2C bus, and now requires to select a number of other
Kconfig options:
config VIDEO_V4L2
tristate
depends on (I2C || I2C=n) && VIDEO_DEV
select RATIONAL
select VIDEOBUF2_V4L2 if VIDEOBUF2_CORE
default (I2C || I2C=n) && VIDEO_DEV
In the past, merging them would be tricky, but it seems that it is now
possible to merge those symbols, in order to simplify V4L dependencies.
Let's keep VIDEO_DEV, as this one is used on some make *defconfig
configurations.

menuconfig DVB_TEST_DRIVERS should be added after the V4L_TEST_DRIVERS,
otherwise there are no drivers listed in these two menus.

The virtual DVB test driver serves as a reference DVB driver and helps
validate the existing APIs in the media subsystem. It can also aid
developers working on userspace applications.
This dummy tuner should support common TV standards such as DVB-T/T2/S/S2,
ISDB-T and ATSC when completed.

We never use _ in directory names in the media subsystem, so
rename to test-drivers instead for consistency.
Also update MAINTAINERS with the new path.
