+
+Information about the Device
+============================
+This chip is a Silicon Labs product. It is a I2C device, currently on 0x63 address.
+Basically, it has transmission and signal noise level measurement features.
+
+The Si4713 integrates transmit functions for FM broadcast stereo transmission.
+The chip also allows integrated receive power scanning to identify low signal
+power FM channels.
+
+The chip is programmed using commands and responses. There are also several
+properties which can change the behavior of this chip.
+
+Users must comply with local regulations on radio frequency (RF) transmission.
+
+Device driver description
+=========================
+There are two modules to handle this device. One is a I2C device driver
+and the other is a platform driver.
+
+The I2C device driver exports a v4l2-subdev interface to the kernel.
+All properties can also be accessed by v4l2 extended controls interface, by
+using the v4l2-subdev calls (g_ext_ctrls, s_ext_ctrls).
+
+The platform device driver exports a v4l2 radio device interface to user land.
+So, it uses the I2C device driver as a sub device in order to send the user
+commands to the actual device. Basically it is a wrapper to the I2C device driver.
+
+Applications can use v4l2 radio API to specify frequency of operation, mute state,
+etc. But mostly of its properties will be present in the extended controls.
+
+When the v4l2 mute property is set to 1 (true), the driver will turn the chip off.
+
+Properties description
+======================
+
+The properties can be accessed using v4l2 extended controls.

+/ #
+
+Here is a summary of them:
+
+* Pilot is an audible tone sent by the device.
+
+pilot_frequency - Configures the frequency of the stereo pilot tone.
+pilot_deviation - Configures pilot tone frequency deviation level.
+pilot_enabled - Enables or disables the pilot tone feature.
+
+* The si4713 device is capable of applying audio compression to the transmitted signal.
+
+acomp_enabled - Enables or disables the audio dynamic range control feature.
+acomp_gain - Sets the gain for audio dynamic range control.
+acomp_threshold - Sets the threshold level for audio dynamic range control.
+acomp_attack_time - Sets the attack time for audio dynamic range control.
+acomp_release_time - Sets the release time for audio dynamic range control.
+
+* Limiter setups audio deviation limiter feature. Once a over deviation occurs,
+it is possible to adjust the front-end gain of the audio input and always
+prevent over deviation.
+
+limiter_enabled - Enables or disables the limiter feature.
+limiter_deviation - Configures audio frequency deviation level.
+limiter_release_time - Sets the limiter release time.
+
+* Tuning power
+
+power_level - Sets the output power level for signal transmission.
+antenna_capacitor - This selects the value of antenna tuning capacitor manually
+or automatically if set to zero.
+
+* RDS related
+
+rds_ps_name - Sets the RDS ps name field for transmission.
+rds_radio_text - Sets the RDS radio text for transmission.
+rds_pi - Sets the RDS PI field for transmission.
+rds_pty - Sets the RDS PTY field for transmission.
+
+* Region related
+
+preemphasis - sets the preemphasis to be applied for transmission.
+
+RNL
+===
+
+This device also has an interface to measure received noise level. To do that, you should
+ioctl the device node. Here is an code of example:
+
+int main (int argc, char *argv[])
+{
+	struct si4713_rnl rnl;
+	int fd = open("/dev/radio0", O_RDWR);
+	int rval;
+
+	if (argc < 2)
+		return -EINVAL;
+
+	if (fd < 0)
+		return fd;
+
+	sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &rnl.frequency);
+
+	rval = ioctl(fd, SI4713_IOC_MEASURE_RNL, &rnl);
+	if (rval < 0)
+		return rval;
+
+	printf("received noise level: %d\n", rnl.rnl);
+
+	close(fd);
+}
+
+The struct si4713_rnl and SI4713_IOC_MEASURE_RNL are defined under
+include/media/si4713.h.
+
+Stereo/Mono and RDS subchannels
+===============================
+
+The device can also be configured using the available sub channels for
+transmission. To do that use S/G_MODULATOR ioctl and configure txsubchans properly.
+Refer to v4l2-spec for proper use of this ioctl.
+
+Testing
+=======
+Testing is usually done with v4l2-ctl utility for managing FM tuner cards.
+The tool can be found in v4l-dvb repository under v4l2-apps/util directory.
+
+Example for setting rds ps name:
+# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --set-ctrl=rds_ps_name="Dummy"
