The Wave5 codec driver is a stateful encoder/decoder.
It is found on the J721S2 SoC, JH7100 SoC, ssd202d SoC. Etc.
But current test report is based on J721S2 SoC and pre-silicon FPGA.

The driver currently supports V4L2_PIX_FMT_HEVC, V4L2_PIX_FMT_H264
for both encoding and decoding.

This driver has so far been tested on J721S2 EVM board and pre-silicon
FPGA.

Testing on J721S2 EVM board shows it working fine both decoder and
encoder.
The driver is successfully working with gstreamer v4l2 good-plugin
without any modification.

We have based the tree on top of the latest
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git repository.

M2M framework modification:
===========================

(Patch 1 & 2)
Added a set of changes to enable ignoring the streaming state of one or more
queues while checking whether a new job can be inserted into the ready queue.
The use-case we encountered for this is a stateful decoder/encoder chip with a
tight connection to a firmware. On that firmware the bitstream is first
analyzed and the firmware produces output indicating the requirements for the
output of the decode (e.g. the buffers of the CAPTURE queue). We want to be
able to perform this action within the M2M job workflow in order to rely on the
concurrency safety provided by the M2M jobs.

v4l2-compliance results:
========================

v4l2-compliance 1.25.0-5092, 64 bits, 64-bit time_t

Total for wave5-dec device /dev/video0: 45, Succeeded: 45, Failed: 0, Warnings: 0

Total for wave5-enc device /dev/video1: 45, Succeeded: 45, Failed: 0, Warnings: 0

Fluster test results:
=====================

Running test suite JCT-VC-HEVC_V1 with decoder GStreamer-H.265-V4L2-Gst1.0
Using 1 parallel job(s)
Ran 133/147 tests successfully               in 95.898 secs

(1 test fails because of a missing frame and slight corruption, 2 tests fail
because of sizes which are incompatible with the IP, 11 tests fail because of
unsupported 10 bit format)

Running test suite JVT-AVC_V1 with decoder GStreamer-H.264-V4L2-Gst1.0
Using 1 parallel job(s)
Ran 78/135 tests successfully               in 57.198 secs

(57 fail because the hardware is unable to decode
 MBAFF / FMO / Field / Extended profile streams.)

Encoder testing:
================

Among other tests the driver is able to produce valid output with the following test:
`gst-launch-1.0 videotestsrc num-buffers=300 ! v4l2h264enc ! h264parse ! qtmux ! filesink location=test.mp4`

Changes since v11:
==================

* Major rework of the decoder
  - Fix concurrency issues by moving the commands that invoke actions on the
    firmware into the device_run function from M2M, effectively causing M2M to
    take care of the concurrency via its job queue.
    - In order to do that device_run needs to be able to run before both queues
      are ready, as a sequence needs to be initialized on the firmware to get
      the required buffer count & communicate the result back to userspace,
      thus we added a routine to allow jobs to be queued in M2M with only one
      of two queues being started. (See: "Add ignore_streaming flag to M2M"
      series)
  - Add support for more output formats (YUV422P, YUV422M, NV16, NV16M, NV61,
    NV61M)
  - Add proper state switch function to verify state switches 
  - Simplify the queue_setup function and move the decoder opening to STREAMON
    as request in the review of V11
  - Enable handling dynamic resolution change and seeking
  - Remove thumbnail mode

* Similar reworks on the encoder
  - Move encoding into device_run and encoder opening + sequence intialization
    to STREAMON, this change simplifies the encoder as it previously was able
    to run multiple encode jobs simultaneously

* Remove unused configurations and support for untested hardware
  - Remove the ability to configure the endianess of memory writes as only a
    single hardware can be tested so far
  - Remove the ability to configure the bitstream_mode, as the driver is
    currently hardcoded for the INTERRUPT mode
  - Remove support for all CODECS, that were not tested (everything besides
    H264/HEVC encoder + decoder)
  - The encoder currently contains a lot of configurable parameter, which are
    hard-coded in the `wave5_set_enc_openparam` function, remove all parameters
    which aren't currently specified in that configuration
  - Remove unused rotation and mirroring options from the decoder

* Add FLUSH_FIRMWARE firmware command
* Refactoring
  * Add wrappers for frequently used routines or to make the code more
    descriptive
    - Wrapper for firmware command calling `send_firmware_command`
    - Wrappers to intialize the sequence and to set up the framebuffers in the
      decoder and encoder
    - Using more general kernel functions and macros in various places
  * Add Macros for constant values and bit shifts
  * Fix typos and improve comments

* Fix bug with M2M instance stored in the driver instance, multiple
  simultaneous instances would overwrite the M2M handler of each other. Use a
  M2M handler per device instead to avoid overwriting.
* Adjust TRACE_PATH in the coda directory as highlighted in the review of V11
* Applied requested changes from review to the devicetree bindings file
  (the bindings check didn't return any warnings or errors)

Changes since v10:
==================

* Remove structure member from the encoder and decoder output info
  structs, that have assigned values from the registers but aren't used
  in the driver, add comments to describe the register values in the
  register definitions
* Fix issue with decoding videos with a dimension where the height is
  not a multiple of 16 (270, 360, 540, 1024 etc.)
* Fix incorrect variable format identifiers in printks
* Use debug logs in loops to avoid flooding the message log
* Use the swap() function instead of manual swapping of two values
* Add extended controls for the encoder
* Fix control flow issue while handling bitstream buffers, where an
  error while writing the source buffer into the hardware ring buffer
  would result in skipping the problematic buffer, which in turn causes
  a reordering of source buffers
* Use the rectangle format as described by the hardware, the hardware
  uses for rectangles like the display rectangle 4 offsets (top, bottom,
  left, right), which depict the offset from the respective edge. Use
  this format instead of implicitly converting the bottom and right
  attributes to width and height attributes.
* Return an error upon reading the sequence header while STREAMON
* Squash the VDI and the VPUAPI layer commits as they had circular
  dependencies

changes since v9:
=================

* Move from staging to the media directory
  * Move coda driver to sub-directory

* Fixes:
  * Use platform_get_irq instead of platform_get_resource to fetch the IRQ

* General cleanups:
  * Add missing error messages to error conditions
  * Improve messages/variable names/comments, align parameter names across the driver
  * Use macros instead of magic numbers in multiple occassions
  * Reduce code duplication in multiple places
  * Fix whitespace, newline and tab alignment issues
  * Remove unused struct fields & commented out code
  * Convert signed integers to unsigned if signed is not necessary
  * Convert int/unsigned int to s32/u32, when the variable is assigned to the
    return of a register read or provided as a parameter for a register write
    (and vice versa)
  * Fix incorrect bitwise operators where logical operators are appropriate
  * Multiple smaller changes

* Generalization:
  * Add new helper file providing generalized routines for vpu-dec & vpu-enc
  * Generalize luma & chroma table size calculation and stride calculation

* Resource cleanup and error handling:
  * Add error handling to all calls with ignored return codes
  * Handle DMA resource cleanup properly
  * Fix insufficient instance cleanup while opening dec/enc
