Properties can additionally be created as immutable, in which case they
will be read-only for applications but can be modified by the driver. To
create an immutable property drivers must set the DRM_MODE_PROP_IMMUTABLE
flag at property creation time.
</para>
<para>
When no array of value-name pairs is readily available at property
creation time for enumerated or range properties, drivers can create
the property using the <function>drm_property_create</function> function
and manually add enumeration value-name pairs by calling the
<function>drm_property_add_enum</function> function. Care must be taken to
properly specify the property type through the <parameter>flags</parameter>
argument.
</para>
<para>
After creating properties drivers can attach property instances to CRTC,
connector and plane objects by calling the
<function>drm_object_attach_property</function>. The function takes a
pointer to the target object, a pointer to the previously created property
and an initial instance value.

</note>
<para>For driver debugging purposes this ioctl allows test
applications to query the driver about the chips present on the TV
card. Regular applications must not use it. When you found a chip
specific bug, please contact the linux-media mailing list (&v4l-ml;)
so it can be fixed.</para>
<para>To query the driver applications must initialize the
<structfield>match.type</structfield> and
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> or <structfield>match.name</structfield>
fields of a &v4l2-dbg-chip-ident;
and call <constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> with a pointer to
this structure. On success the driver stores information about the
selected chip in the <structfield>ident</structfield> and
<structfield>revision</structfield> fields. On failure the structure
remains unchanged.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_HOST</constant>,
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth non-&i2c; chip
on the TV card. You can enumerate all chips by starting at zero and
incrementing <structfield>match.addr</structfield> by one until
<constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> fails with an &EINVAL;.
The number zero always selects the host chip, &eg; the chip connected
to the PCI or USB bus.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_I2C_DRIVER</constant>,
<structfield>match.name</structfield> contains the I2C driver name.
For instance
<constant>"saa7127"</constant> will match any chip
supported by the saa7127 driver, regardless of its &i2c; bus address.
When multiple chips supported by the same driver are present, the
ioctl will return <constant>V4L2_IDENT_AMBIGUOUS</constant> in the
<structfield>ident</structfield> field.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_I2C_ADDR</constant>,
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects a chip by its 7 bit
&i2c; bus address.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_AC97</constant>,
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth AC97 chip
on the TV card. You can enumerate all chips by starting at zero and
incrementing <structfield>match.addr</structfield> by one until
<constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> fails with an &EINVAL;.</para>
<para>On success, the <structfield>ident</structfield> field will
contain a chip ID from the Linux
<filename>media/v4l2-chip-ident.h</filename> header file, and the
<structfield>revision</structfield> field will contain a driver
specific value, or zero if no particular revision is associated with
this chip.</para>
<para>When the driver could not identify the selected chip,
<structfield>ident</structfield> will contain
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_UNKNOWN</constant>. When no chip matched
the ioctl will succeed but the
<structfield>ident</structfield> field will contain
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_NONE</constant>. If multiple chips matched,
<structfield>ident</structfield> will contain
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_AMBIGUOUS</constant>. In all these cases the
<structfield>revision</structfield> field remains unchanged.</para>
<para>This ioctl is optional, not all drivers may support it. It
was introduced in Linux 2.6.21, but the API was changed to the
one described here in 2.6.29.</para>
<para>We recommended the <application>v4l2-dbg</application>
utility over calling this ioctl directly. It is available from the
LinuxTV v4l-dvb repository; see <ulink
url="http://linuxtv.org/repo/">http://linuxtv.org/repo/</ulink> for

Additional flags

Additional flags can be passed to spatch through the SPFLAGS
variable.
make SPFLAGS=--use_glimpse coccicheck
make SPFLAGS=--use-glimpse coccicheck
make SPFLAGS=--use-idutils coccicheck
See spatch --help to learn more about spatch options.
Note that the '--use-glimpse' and '--use-idutils' options
require external tools for indexing the code. None of them is
thus active by default. However, by indexing the code with
one of these tools, and according to the cocci file used,
spatch could proceed the entire code base more quickly.
