[PATCH 2/2] media: ca.h: document ca_msg and the corresponding ioctls

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Usually, CA messages are sent/received via reading/writing at
the CA device node. However, two drivers (dst_ca and firedtv-ci)
also implement it via ioctls.

Apparently, on both cases, the net result is the same.

Anyway, let's document it.
