I think this doesn't belong to davinci folder. Consider moving this to Documentation folder where v4l2 documentations are available.

>+ Functional partitioning
>+ -----------------------
>+
>+ Consists of following (in the same order as the list under file
>+ partitioning):-
>+
>+ 1. V4L2 display driver
>+    Implements video2 and video3 device nodes and
>+    provides v4l2 device interface to manage VID0 and VID1 layers.
>+
>+ 2. Display controller
>+    Loads up venc, osd and external encoders such as ths8200. It provides
>+    a set of API calls to V4L2 drivers to set the output/standards
>+    in the venc or external sub devices. It also provides
>+    a device object to access the services from osd sub device
>+    using sub device ops. The connection of external encoders to venc LCD
>+    controller port is done at init time based on default output and
>standard
>+    selection or at run time when application change the output through
>+    V4L2 IOCTLs.
>+
>+    When connetected to an external encoder, vpbe controller is also
>responsible
>+    for setting up the interface between venc and external encoders based
>on
>+    board specific settings (specified in board-xxx-evm.c). This allowes
>+    interfacing external encoders such as ths8200. The setup_if_config()
>+    is implemented for this as well as configure_venc() (part of the next
>patch)
>+    API to set timings in venc for a specific display resolution.As of
>this
>+    patch series, the interconnection and enabling ans setting of the
>external
>+    encoders is not present, and would be a part of the next patch series.
>+
>+ 3. Venc sub device
>+    Responsible for setting outputs provides through internal dacs and
>also
>+    setting timings at LCD controller port when external encoders are
>connected
>+    at the port or LCD panel timings required. When external encoder/LCD
>panel
>+    is connected, the timings for a specific standard/preset is retrieved
>from
>+    the board specific table and the values are used to set the timings in
>+    venc using non-standard timing mode.
>+
>+    Support LCD Panel displays using the venc. For example to support a
>Logic
>+    PD display, it requires setting up the LCD controller port with a set
>of
>+    timings for the resolution supported and setting the dot clock. So we
>could
>+    add the available outputs as a board specific entry ( i.e add the
>"LogicPD"
>+    output name to board-xxx-evm.c). A table of timings for various LCDs
>+    supported cab be maintained in the board specific setup file to
>support
>+    various LCD displays.
>+
>+ 4. osd sub device
>+    Osd sub device implements all osd layer management and hardware
>specific
>+    features. In the legacy drivers (LSPxxx), the hardware specific
>features
>+    are configured through proprietary IOCTLs at the fb device interface.
>Since
>+    sub devices are going to support device nodes, application will be
>able
>+    to configure the hardware feayture directly by opening the osd sub
>device
>+    node and by calling the related IOCTL. So these proprietary IOCTLs are
>+    to be removed from the FB Device driver when doing up port of these
>drivers to
>+    mainline kernel. The V4L2 and FB device nodes supports only IOCTLS as
>per
>+    the associated spec. The rest of the IOCTLs are to be moved to osd and
>+    venc sub devices.
>+
>+ Current status:-
>+
>+ A build tested version of vpbe controller is available.
>+
>+ Following are TBDs.
>+
>+ vpbe display controller
>+    - review and modify the handling of external encoders.
>+    - add support for selecting external encoder as default at probe time.
>+
>+ vpbe venc sub device
>+    - add timings for supporting ths8200
>+    - add support for LogicPD LCD.
>+
>+ v4l2 driver
>+    - A version is already developed which is to be cleaned up and unit
>tested
>+
>+ FB drivers
>+    - Add support for fbdev drivers.- Ready and part of subsequent patches.
