+CEC Kernel Support
+==================
+
+The CEC framework provides a unified kernel interface for use with HDMI CEC
+hardware. It is designed to handle a multiple variants of hardware. Adding to
+the flexibility of the framework it enables to set which parts of the CEC
+protocol processing is handled by the hardware, by the driver and by the
+userspace application.
+
+
+The CEC Protocol
+----------------
+
+The CEC protocol enables consumer electronic devices to communicate with each
+other through the HDMI connection. The protocol uses logical addresses in the
+communication. The logical address is strictly connected with the functionality
+provided by the device. The TV acting as the communication hub is always
+assigned address 0. The physical address is determined by the physical
+connection between devices.
+
+The protocol enables control of compatible devices with a single remote.
+Synchronous power on/standby, instant playback with changing the content source
+on the TV.

*log_addrs, bool block);
+
+The device type defines are defined by the CEC standard.
+
+The cec_adapter structure represents the adapter. It has a number of
+operations that have to be implemented in the driver: adap_enable() enables
+or disables the physical adapter, adap_log_addr() tells the driver which
+logical address should be configured. This may be called multiple times
+to configure multiple logical addresses. Calling adap_enable(false) or
+adap_log_addr(CEC_LOG_ADDR_INVALID) will clear all configured logical
+addresses.
+
+The adap_transmit op will setup the hardware to send out the given CEC message.
+This will return without waiting for the transmission to finish. The
+adap_transmit_timed_out() function is called when the current transmission
timed
+out and the hardware needs to be informed of this (the hardware should go back
+from transmitter to receiver mode).
+
+The adapter driver will also call into the adapter: it should call
+cec_transmit_done() when a cec transfer was finalized and cec_received_msg()
+when a new message was received.
+
+When a message is received the received() op is called.
+
+The driver has to call cec_create_adapter to initialize the structure. If
+the 'caps' argument is non-zero, then it will also create a /dev/cecX
+device node to allow userspace to interact with the CEC device. Userspace
+can request those capabilities with the CEC_G_CAPS ioctl.
+
+In order for a CEC adapter to be configured it needs a physical address.
+This is normally assigned by the driver. It is either 0.0.0.0 for a TV (aka
+video receiver) or it is derived from the EDID that the source received
+from the sink. This is normally set by the driver before enabling the CEC
+adapter, or it is set from userspace in the case of CEC USB dongles (although
+embedded systems might also want to set this manually).
+
+After enabling the CEC adapter it has to be configured.
+
+The userspace has to inform the CEC adapter of which type of device it requests
+the adapter to identify itself. After this information is set by userspace, the
+CEC framework will attempt to to find and claim a logical addresses matching
the
+requested device type. If none are found, then it will fall back to logical
+address Unregistered (15). To clear the logical addresses list from the list
the
+userspace application should set the num_log_addrs field of struct cec_log_addr
+to 0.
+
+The type of device is set from the userspace with the CEC_S_ADAP_LOG_ADDRS. In
+addition, claiming logical addresses can be initiated from the kernel side by
+calling the cec_claim_log_addrs function.
+
+Before the addresses are claimed it is possible to send and receive messages.
+Sending all messages is possible as it is up to the userspace to the source
+and destination addresses in the message payload. However, only broadcast
+messages can be received until a regular logical address is claimed.
+
+When a CEC message is received the CEC framework will take care of the CEC
+core messages CEC_MSG_GET_CEC_VERSION, CEC_MSG_GIVE_PHYS_ADDR and
CEC_MSG_ABORT.
+Then it will call the received() op (if set), and finally it will queue it
+for handling by userspace if create_devnode was true, or send back
+FEATURE_ABORT if create_devnode was false.
+
+Drivers can also use the cec_transmit_msg() call to transmit a message. This
+can either be fire-and-forget (the CEC framework will queue up messages in a
+transmit queue), or a blocking wait until there is either an error or a
+reply to the message.
