If the adapter requires that userspace sets up the phys addr, then what
should this return if no such address has been set up?

I see two options: either 0xffff (which should be used if the HDMI cable
is disconnected), or return an error (perhaps ENODATA).

I think 0xffff might be best. This will still allow the unregistered
logical address.

Note that the comment in uapi/linux/cec.h for G_ADAP_LOG_ADDRS says that it
will return an error if the physical address is not set. That's not true
as far as I can tell, and if we go for 0xffff as the default in a case like
that, then it isn't necessary either to return an error.

cec_create_adapter already initialized the physical address to 0xffff, so
that looks good. But it should be documented in cec-ioc-g-adap-phys-addr.xml.

I've been reading up on this. If I understand it correctly, then this is
optional (only if a device supports vendor commands does it have to implement
this).

So if the VENDOR capability is set, then userspace *may* change it. If it is
left undefined, then no vendor commands are allowed.

I think this should be redesigned:

One CEC_CAP_VENDOR_CMDS: if set, then vendor commands are allowed.
One CEC_CAP_VENDOR_ID: userspace may set the Vendor ID. No vendor commands are
allowed as long as no vendor ID was set.

So if VENDOR_CMDS is set and VENDOR_ID isn't, then that means that the driver
will have set the vendor ID and the application can retrieve it with G_VENDOR_ID.
If both are set, then userspace has to provide a vendor ID before vendor commands
will be allowed.

That leaves the problem of determining that no vendor ID was set. Unfortunately
the whole range of 0x000000-0xffffff is valid (and 0x000000 maps in fact to a
company (Xerox) according to the IEEE Registration Authority Committee website.

We can define a CEC_VENDOR_ID_INVALID 0xffffffff, that might be the easiest way
of doing this.

A related question: should userspace be allowed to change a valid physical
address or a valid vendor ID to something else once the logical addresses have
been claimed? Or should that result in -EBUSY? I'm leaning towards that.

Actually, the same question is true for S_LOG_ADDRS: that should be done only
once as well as long as the adapter is enabled.

BTW, the documentation does not mention the order in which S_PHYS_ADDR and
S_VENDOR_ID should be issued: should this be done before the adapter is
enabled or before the logical addresses are claimed?

Working on a compliance test is always a great way of finding all these
corner cases...
