Why This File Exists

Repeatable hardware-adapter layer. Deep compatibility for every driver is out of scope; this atlas records patterns, probe lifecycles, bus glue, IRQ/DMA usage, and links back to core abstractions.

Dependency Surface

• No C-style include directives detected by the generator.

Detected Declarations

• No top-level syscall, struct, function, initcall, or export declaration detected by the generator.

Annotated Snippet

This driver is in staging until the V4L2 documentation about stateful video
decoders is finalized, as well as the corresponding compliance tests.

It is at the moment not guaranteed to work properly with a userspace
stack that follows the latest version of the specification, especially
with compression standards like MPEG1/2 where the driver does not support
dynamic resolution switching, including the first one used to determine coded
resolution.

Annotation

• Atlas domain: Driver Families / drivers/staging.
• Implementation status: atlas-only.

Implementation Notes

• This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
• Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
• Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
