Dorota Czaplejewicz 5a26272f9c media: doc/media api: Try to make enum usage clearer
This clarifies which side of the calls is responsible for doing what to
which parts of the struct. This also explicitly states that repeating
values are disallowed. It also expands the terse description of the access
algorithm into more prose-like, active voice description, which trades
conciseness for ease of comprehension.

Added: mbus codes must not repeat
Added: no holes in the enumeration
Added: enumerations per what?
Added: who fills in what in calls
Changed: "zero" -> "0"
Changed: "given" -> "specified"

Still unclear how it works so didn't describe: "which". What is a "try
format" vs "active format"?

Name

VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_MBUS_CODE - Enumerate media bus formats
Synopsis
========
.. c:macro:: VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_MBUS_CODE
``int ioctl(int fd, VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_MBUS_CODE, struct v4l2_subdev_mbus_code_enum * argp)``
Arguments
=========
``fd``
File descriptor returned by :c:func:`open()`.
``argp``
Pointer to struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_mbus_code_enum`.
Description
===========
This call is used by the application to access the enumeration
of media bus formats for the selected pad.
The enumerations are defined by the driver, and indexed using the ``index`` field
of struct :c:type:`v4l2_subdev_mbus_code_enum`.
Each enumeration starts with the ``index`` of 0, and
the lowest invalid index marks the end of enumeration.
Therefore, to enumerate media bus formats available at a given sub-device pad,
initialize the ``pad``, and ``which`` fields to desired values,
and set ``index`` to 0.
Then call the :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_ENUM_MBUS_CODE` ioctl
with a pointer to this structure.
A successful call will return with the ``code`` field filled in
with a mbus code value.
Repeat with increasing ``index`` until ``EINVAL`` is received.
``EINVAL`` means that either ``pad`` is invalid,
or that there are no more codes available at this pad.
The driver must not return the same value of ``code`` for different indices
at the same pad.
Available media bus formats may depend on the current 'try' formats at
other pads of the sub-device, as well as on the current active links.
See :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT` for more
information about the try formats.

Return Value
============
On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
EINVAL
The struct
:c:type:`v4l2_subdev_mbus_code_enum`
``pad`` references a non-existing pad, or the ``index`` field is out
of bounds.
