388+ Extron DA HD 4K PLUS CEC Adapter driver
389+ =======================================
390+
391+ This driver is for the Extron DA HD 4K PLUS series of HDMI Distribution
392+ Amplifiers: https://www.extron.com/product/dahd4kplusseries
393+
394+ The 2, 4 and 6 port models are supported.
395+
396+ Firmware version 1.02.0001 or higher is required.
397+
398+ Note that older Extron hardware revisions have a problem with the CEC voltage,
399+ which may mean that CEC will not work. This is fixed in hardware revisions
400+ E34814 and up.
401+
402+ The CEC support has two modes: the first is a manual mode where userspace has
403+ to manually control CEC for the HDMI Input and all HDMI Outputs. While this gives
404+ full control, it is also complicated.
405+
406+ The second mode is an automatic mode, which is selected if the module option
407+ ``vendor_id `` is set. In that case the driver controls CEC and CEC messages
408+ received in the input will be distributed to the outputs. It is still possible
409+ to use the /dev/cecX devices to talk to the connected devices directly, but it is
410+ the driver that configures everything and deals with things like Hotplug Detect
411+ changes.
412+
413+ The driver also takes care of the EDIDs: /dev/videoX devices are created to
414+ read the EDIDs and (for the HDMI Input port) to set the EDID.
415+
416+ By default userspace is responsible to set the EDID for the HDMI Input
417+ according to the EDIDs of the connected displays. But if the ``manufacturer_name ``
418+ module option is set, then the driver will take care of setting the EDID
419+ of the HDMI Input based on the supported resolutions of the connected displays.
420+ Currently the driver only supports resolutions 1080p60 and 4kp60: if all connected
421+ displays support 4kp60, then it will advertise 4kp60 on the HDMI input, otherwise
422+ it will fall back to an EDID that just reports 1080p60.
423+
424+ The status of the Extron is reported in ``/sys/kernel/debug/cec/cecX/status ``.
425+
426+ The extron-da-hd-4k-plus driver implements the following module options:
427+
428+ ``debug ``
429+ ---------
430+
431+ If set to 1, then all serial port traffic is shown.
432+
433+ ``vendor_id ``
434+ -------------
435+
436+ The CEC Vendor ID to report to connected displays.
437+
438+ If set, then the driver will take care of distributing CEC messages received
439+ on the input to the HDMI outputs. This is done for the following CEC messages:
440+
441+ - <Standby>
442+ - <Image View On> and <Text View On>
443+ - <Give Device Power Status>
444+ - <Set System Audio Mode>
445+ - <Request Current Latency>
446+
447+ If not set, then userspace is responsible for this, and it will have to
448+ configure the CEC devices for HDMI Input and the HDMI Outputs manually.
449+
450+ ``manufacturer_name ``
451+ ---------------------
452+
453+ A three character manufacturer name that is used in the EDID for the HDMI
454+ Input. If not set, then userspace is reponsible for configuring an EDID.
455+ If set, then the driver will update the EDID automatically based on the
456+ resolutions supported by the connected displays, and it will not be possible
457+ anymore to manually set the EDID for the HDMI Input.
458+
459+ ``hpd_never_low ``
460+ -----------------
461+
462+ If set, then the Hotplug Detect pin of the HDMI Input will always be high,
463+ even if nothing is connected to the HDMI Outputs. If not set (the default)
464+ then the Hotplug Detect pin of the HDMI input will go low if all the detected
465+ Hotplug Detect pins of the HDMI Outputs are also low.
466+
467+ This option may be changed dynamically.
