+====================
+mgb4 sysfs interface
+====================
+
+The mgb4 driver provides a sysfs interface, that is used to configure video
+stream related parameters (some of them must be set properly before the v4l2
+device can be opened) and obtain the video device/stream status.
+
+There are two types of parameters - global / PCI card related, found under
+``/sys/class/video4linux/videoX/device`` and module specific found under
+``/sys/class/video4linux/videoX``.
+
+
+Global (PCI card) parameters
+============================
+
+**module_type** (R):
+    Module type.
+
+    | 0 - No module present
+    | 1 - FPDL3
+    | 2 - GMSL
+
+**module_version** (R):
+    Module version number. Zero in case of a missing module.
+
+**fw_type** (R):
+    Firmware type.
+
+    | 1 - FPDL3
+    | 2 - GMSL
+
+**fw_version** (R):
+    Firmware version number.
+
+**serial_number** (R):
+    Card serial number. The format is::
+
+        PRODUCT-REVISION-SERIES-SERIAL
+
+    where each component is a 8b number.
+
+

+
+    | 0 - OLDI/JEIDA
+    | 1 - SPWG/VESA (default)
+

+    Video link status. If the link is locked, chips are properly connected and
+    communicating at the same speed and protocol. The link can be locked without
+    an active video stream.

+    A value of 0 is equivalent to the V4L2_IN_ST_NO_SYNC flag of the V4L2
+    VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT status bits.
+
+    | 0 - unlocked
+    | 1 - locked
+
+**stream_status** (R):

+    pixel clock is running and the DE signal is moving.

+    field of the v4l2_bt_timings struct.
+
+**video_height** (R):

+    | 2 - not available
+
+**vsync_gap_length** (RW):

+    vsync_gap_length.
+
+**pclk_frequency** (R):
+    Input pixel clock frequency in kHz.
+
+    The value is identical to what VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS returns in

+
+Common FPDL3/GMSL output parameters
+===================================
+
+**output_id** (R):
+    Output number ID, zero based.
+
+**video_source** (RW):
+    Output video source. If set to 0 or 1, the source is the corresponding card
+    input and the v4l2 output devices are disabled. If set to 2 or 3, the source
+    is the corresponding v4l2 video output device. The default is
+    the corresponding v4l2 output, i.e. 2 for OUT1 and 3 for OUT2.
+
+    | 0 - input 0
+    | 1 - input 1
+    | 2 - v4l2 output 0
+    | 3 - v4l2 output 1
+
+    *Note: This parameter can not be changed while ANY of the input/output v4l2
+    devices is open.*
+
+**display_width** (RW):
+    Display width. There is no autodetection of the connected display, so the
+    proper value must be set before the start of streaming. The default width
+    is 1280.
+
+    *Note: This parameter can not be changed while the output v4l2 device is
+    open.*
+
+**display_height** (RW):
+    Display height. There is no autodetection of the connected display, so the
+    proper value must be set before the start of streaming. The default height
+    is 640.
+
+    *Note: This parameter can not be changed while the output v4l2 device is
+    open.*
+
+**frame_rate** (RW):
+    Output video frame rate in frames per second. The default frame rate is
+    60Hz.
+
+**hsync_polarity** (RW):

+    Output pixel clock frequency. Allowed values are between 25000-190000(kHz)
+    and there is a non-linear stepping between two consecutive allowed
+    frequencies. The driver finds the nearest allowed frequency to the given
+    value and sets it. When reading this property, you get the exact
+    frequency set by the driver. The default frequency is 70000kHz.
+
+    *Note: This parameter can not be changed while the output v4l2 device is
+    open.*
+
+**hsync_width** (RW):
+    Width of the HSYNC signal in pixels. The default value is 16.
+
+**vsync_width** (RW):

+
+    *Note: This parameter can not be changed while the input v4l2 device is
+    open.*
+
+**gmsl_fec** (RW):
+    GMSL Forward Error Correction (FEC).
+
+    | 0 - disabled
+    | 1 - enabled (default)
+
+
+====================
+mgb4 mtd partitions
+====================
+
+The mgb4 driver creates a MTD device with two partitions:
+ - mgb4-fw.X - FPGA firmware.
+ - mgb4-data.X - Factory settings, e.g. card serial number.
+
+The *mgb4-fw* partition is writable and is used for FW updates, *mgb4-data* is
+read-only. The *X* attached to the partition name represents the card number.
+Depending on the CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER kernel configuration, you may
+also have a third partition named *mgb4-flash* available in the system. This
+partition represents the whole, unpartitioned, card's FLASH memory and one should
+not fiddle with it...
+
+====================
+mgb4 iio (triggers)
+====================
+
+The mgb4 driver creates an Industrial I/O (IIO) device that provides trigger and
+signal level status capability. The following scan elements are available:
+
+**activity**:
+	The trigger levels and pending status.
+
+	| bit 1 - trigger 1 pending
+	| bit 2 - trigger 2 pending
+	| bit 5 - trigger 1 level
+	| bit 6 - trigger 2 level
+
+**timestamp**:
+	The trigger event timestamp.
+
+The iio device can operate either in "raw" mode where you can fetch the signal
+levels (activity bits 5 and 6) using sysfs access or in triggered buffer mode.
+In the triggered buffer mode you can follow the signal level changes (activity
+bits 1 and 2) using the iio device in /dev. If you enable the timestamps, you
+will also get the exact trigger event time that can be matched to a video frame
+(every mgb4 video frame has a timestamp with the same clock source).
+
+*Note: although the activity sample always contains all the status bits, it makes
+no sense to get the pending bits in raw mode or the level bits in the triggered
+buffer mode - the values do not represent valid data in such case.*
