What exactly are you trying to give an overview of - who is the user and
what do they want to know?

If you're trying to explain what the controls exposed to user space map
to then that's going to be specific to a given board (and codec).  If
you just want a brief overview of how things are structured in kernel
without any detail then if there's nothing in any of the presentations
then something along the lines of the quick ASCII art below *might*
help?
