| 5 | TODO for the driver |
| 6 | ------------------------------ |
| 7 | |
| 8 | - According to the SiLabs' datasheet it is possible to update the |
| 9 | firmware of the radio chip in the run-time, thus bringing it to the |
| 10 | most recent version. Unfortunately I couldn't find any mentioning of |
| 11 | the said firmware update for the old chips that I tested the driver |
| 12 | against, so for chips like that the driver only exposes the old |
| 13 | functionality. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Parameters exposed over debugfs |
| 17 | ------------------------------- |
| 18 | SI476x allow user to get multiple characteristics that can be very |
| 19 | useful for EoL testing/RF performance estimation, parameters that have |
| 20 | very little to do with V4L2 subsystem. Such parameters are exposed via |
| 21 | debugfs and can be accessed via regular file I/O operations. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | The drivers exposes following files: |
| 24 | |
| 25 | * /sys/kernel/debug/<device-name>/acf |
| 26 | This file contains ACF(Automatically Controlled Features) status |
| 27 | information. The contents of the file is binary data of the |
| 28 | following layout: |
