[RFC 1/4] media: Documentation: Rework embedded data documentation

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

 



Rework embedded data documentation by removing the reference to the pixel
data stream. The specific documentation of the embedded data interface
will be elsewhere.

 the most common data interface used by such sensors, embedded data can be
 available on other interfaces as well.
 
-Such sensors expose two internal sink pads (pads that have both the
-``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK <MEDIA-PAD-FL-SINK>`` and ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_INTERNAL
-<MEDIA-PAD-FL-INTERNAL>`` flags set) to model the source of the image and

+Embedded data support is indicated by an internal sink pad (pad that has both
+the ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_SINK <MEDIA-PAD-FL-SINK>`` and ``MEDIA_PAD_FL_INTERNAL

 In general, changing the embedded data format from the driver-configured values
 is not supported. The height of the metadata is device-specific and the width
