Merge tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linuxgrafted
Pull I3C updates from Alexandre Belloni: "A new driver this cycle, for the AMD AXI I3C controller. There are also new features such as IBI wakeup support, SETAASA device discovery and ACPI support for the the DAA methods, meaning we can now communicate with the SPD devices on DDR5 modules. New driver: - AMD AXI I3C master controller Subsystem: - I3C Common Command Code (CCC) handling improvements, especially around GET CCCs - SETAASA device discovery support - ACPI support for all existing DAA methods like SETDASA, SETNEWDA as well as I2C devices on I3C bus - IBI-based wakeup support Drivers: - dw: SETAASA support - mipi-i3c-hci: advertise IBI wakeup capability, AMD_PT I3C controller support, PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 - renesas: improve suspend to RAM support, add runtime PM support" * tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linux: (70 commits) i3c: dw: reduce do_daa time if there's no client i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add support for AMD_PT I3C controller i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Fix missing STAT_IBI_STATUS_THLD in PIO mode i3c: dw: rename "pclk" to "apb" to match dt-binding i3c: dw: make struct dw_i3c_cmd smaller i3c: dw: use COMMAND_PORT_TRANSFER_ARG instead of hardcoding i3c: renesas: Don't register devices when ENTDAA times out i3c: master: dw-i3c-master: fix OD timing for first broadcast i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Advertise IBI wakeup capability i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Factor out i3c_hci_sysdev() i3c: mipi-i3c-hci-pci: Propagate I3C wakeup requirements to PCI i3c: master: Reject IBI requests from non-IBI-capable devices i3c: master: Add helper to query bus wakeup requirements i3c: master: Report wakeup events for IBIs i3c: master: Support IBI-based wakeup capability i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_match() i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_uevent() i3c: Make dev->desc locking assumptions explicit i3c: master: Fix use-after-free of master->this ...

+Digital TV Conditional Access Interface
+=======================================
+
+
+.. note::
+
+ This documentation is outdated.
+
+This document describes the usage of the high level CI API as
+in accordance to the Linux DVB API. This is a not a documentation for the,
+existing low level CI API.
+
+.. note::
+
+ For the Twinhan/Twinhan clones, the dst_ca module handles the CI
+ hardware handling. This module is loaded automatically if a CI
+ (Common Interface, that holds the CAM (Conditional Access Module)
+ is detected.
+
+ca_zap
+~~~~~~
+
+A userspace application, like ``ca_zap`` is required to handle encrypted
+MPEG-TS streams.
+
+The ``ca_zap`` userland application is in charge of sending the
+descrambling related information to the Conditional Access Module (CAM).
+
+This application requires the following to function properly as of now.
+
+a) Tune to a valid channel, with szap.
+
+ eg: $ szap -c channels.conf -r "TMC" -x
+
+b) a channels.conf containing a valid PMT PID
+
+ eg: TMC:11996:h:0:27500:278:512:650:321
+
+ here 278 is a valid PMT PID. the rest of the values are the
+ same ones that szap uses.
+
+c) after running a szap, you have to run ca_zap, for the
+ descrambler to function,
+
+ eg: $ ca_zap channels.conf "TMC"
+
+d) Hopefully enjoy your favourite subscribed channel as you do with
+ a FTA card.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Currently ca_zap, and dst_test, both are meant for demonstration
+ purposes only, they can become full fledged applications if necessary.
+
+
+Cards that fall in this category
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+At present the cards that fall in this category are the Twinhan and its
+clones, these cards are available as VVMER, Tomato, Hercules, Orange and
+so on.
+
+CI modules that are supported
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The CI module support is largely dependent upon the firmware on the cards
+Some cards do support almost all of the available CI modules. There is
+nothing much that can be done in order to make additional CI modules
+working with these cards.
+
+Modules that have been tested by this driver at present are
+
+(1) Irdeto 1 and 2 from SCM
+(2) Viaccess from SCM
+(3) Dragoncam
