From 7e6854a9bfea9ed6553acd0204da5101c9a2e6a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2017 08:03:40 -0400 Subject: media: ca.h: document ca_msg and the corresponding ioctls Usually, CA messages are sent/received via reading/writing at the CA device node. However, two drivers (dst_ca and firedtv-ci) also implement it via ioctls. Apparently, on both cases, the net result is the same. Anyway, let's document it.
