Daniel W. S. Almeida f90cf6079b media: vidtv: add a bridge driver
Digital TV devices consist of several independent hardware components
which are controlled by different drivers.
Each media device is controlled by a group of cooperating drivers with the
bridge driver as the main driver.

This patch adds a bridge driver for the Virtual Digital TV driver [vidtv].

The bridge driver binds to the other drivers, that is, vidtv_tuner and
vidtv_demod and implements the digital demux logic, providing userspace
with a MPEG Transport Stream.

The MPEG related code is split in the following way:

- vidtv_ts: code to work with MPEG TS packets, such as TS headers,
adaptation fields, PCR packets and NULL packets.

- vidtv_psi: this is the PSI generator.
PSI packets contain general information about a MPEG Transport Stream.
A PSI generator is needed so userspace apps can retrieve information
about the Transport Stream and eventually tune into a (dummy) channel.

Because the generator is implemented in a separate file, it can be
reused elsewhere in the media subsystem.

Currently vidtv supports working with 3 PSI tables:
PAT, PMT and SDT.

- vidtv_pes: implements the PES logic to convert encoder data into
MPEG TS packets. These can then be fed into a TS multiplexer and
eventually into userspace.

- vidtv_s302m: implements a S302M encoder to make it possible to
insert PCM audio data in the generated MPEG Transport Stream.

This shall enable passing an audio signal into userspace so it can be
decoded and played by media software.

- vidtv_channels: Implements a 'channel' abstraction

When vidtv boots, it will create some hardcoded channels:

Their services will be concatenated to populate the SDT.
Their programs will be concatenated to populate the PAT
For each program in the PAT, a PMT section will be created
The PMT section for a channel will be assigned its streams.
Every stream will have its corresponding encoder polled to produce TS
packets
These packets may be interleaved by the mux and then delivered to the
bridge

- vidtv_mux - Implements a MPEG TS mux, loosely based on the ffmpeg
implementation

The multiplexer is responsible for polling encoders,
interleaving packets, padding the resulting stream with NULL packets if
necessary and then delivering the resulting TS packets to the bridge
driver so it can feed the demux.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
