| TODO for the driver |
| ------------------- |
| |
| - According to the SiLabs' datasheet it is possible to update the |
| firmware of the radio chip in the run-time, thus bringing it to the |
| most recent version. Unfortunately I couldn't find any mentioning of |
| the said firmware update for the old chips that I tested the driver |
| against, so for chips like that the driver only exposes the old |
| functionality. |
| |
| |
| Parameters exposed over debugfs |
| ------------------------------- |
| SI476x allow user to get multiple characteristics that can be very |
| useful for EoL testing/RF performance estimation, parameters that have |
| very little to do with V4L2 subsystem. Such parameters are exposed via |
| debugfs and can be accessed via regular file I/O operations. |
| |
| The drivers exposes following files: |
| |
| * /sys/kernel/debug/<device-name>/acf |
| This file contains ACF(Automatically Controlled Features) status |
| information. The contents of the file is binary data of the |
| following layout: |
| |
| .. tabularcolumns:: |p{7ex}|p{12ex}|L| |
| |
