+Introduction
+============
+
+This file documents the Texas Instruments Davinci Video processing Front End
+(VPFE) driver located under drivers/media/platform/davinci. The original driver
+exists for Davinci VPFE, which is now being changed to Media Controller
+Framework.
+
+Currently the driver has been successfully used on the following
+version of Davinci:
+
+	DM365/DM368
+
+The driver implements V4L2, Media controller and v4l2_subdev interfaces. Sensor,
+lens and flash drivers using the v4l2_subdev interface in the kernel are
+supported.
+
+
+Split to subdevs
+================
+
+The Davinci VPFE is split into V4L2 subdevs, each of the blocks inside the VPFE
+having one subdev to represent it. Each of the subdevs provide a V4L2 subdev
+interface to userspace.
+
+	DAVINCI ISIF
+	DAVINCI IPIPEIF
+	DAVINCI IPIPE
+	DAVINCI CROP RESIZER
+	DAVINCI RESIZER A
+	DAVINCI RESIZER B
+
+Each possible link in the VPFE is modeled by a link in the Media controller
+interface. For an example program see [1].
+
+
+ISIF, IPIPE, and RESIZER block IOCTLs
+======================================
+
+The Davinci Video processing Front End (VPFE) driver supports standard V4L2
+IOCTLs and controls where possible and practical. Much of the functions provided
+by the VPFE, however, does not fall under the standard IOCTL's.
+
+In general, there is a private ioctl for configuring each of the blocks
+containing hardware-dependent functions.
+
+The following private IOCTLs are supported:
+
+	VIDIOC_VPFE_ISIF_[S/G]_RAW_PARAMS
+	VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPE_[S/G]_CONFIG
+	VIDIOC_VPFE_RSZ_[S/G]_CONFIG
+
+The parameter structures used by these ioctl's are described in
+include/uapi/linux/davinci_vpfe.h.
+
+The VIDIOC_VPFE_ISIF_S_RAW_PARAMS, VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPE_S_CONFIG and
+VIDIOC_VPFE_RSZ_S_CONFIG are used to configure, enable and disable functions in
+the isif, ipipe and resizer blocks respectively. These IOCTL's control several
+functions in the blocks they control. VIDIOC_VPFE_ISIF_S_RAW_PARAMS IOCTL
+accepts a pointer to struct vpfe_isif_raw_config as its argument. Similarly
+VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPE_S_CONFIG accepts a pointer to struct vpfe_ipipe_config. And
+VIDIOC_VPFE_RSZ_S_CONFIG accepts a pointer to struct vpfe_rsz_config as its
+argument. Similarly VIDIOC_VPFE_ISIF_G_RAW_PARAMS, VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPE_G_CONFIG
+and VIDIOC_VPFE_RSZ_G_CONFIG are used to get the current configuration set in
+the isif, ipipe and resizer blocks respectively.
+
+The detailed functions of the VPFE itself related to a given VPFE block is
+described in the Technical Reference Manuals (TRMs) --- see the end of the
+document for those.
+
+
+IPIPEIF block IOCTLs
+======================================
+
+The following private IOCTLs are supported:
+
+	VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPEIF_[S/G]_CONFIG
+
+The parameter structures used by these ioctl's are described in
+include/uapi/linux/dm365_ipipeif.h
+
+The VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPEIF_S_CONFIG is used to configure the ipipeif
+hardware block. The VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPEIF_S_CONFIG and
+VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPEIF_G_CONFIG accepts a pointer to struct ipipeif_params
+as its argument.
+
