[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/2] ALSA: control: export all of TLV related macros to user land

[Takashi Sakamoto]

Hi,

This patchset updates my previous RFCs, and they're now for merging to upstream.

[alsa-devel] [RFC][PATCH 0/2] ALSA: control: export all of TLV related macros to user land
http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2016-September/112645.html

Currently, TLV related protocol is not shared to user land. This is not
good in a point of application interfaces, because application developers
can't realize the protocol just to see UAPI headers, and they're forced to
look for TLV-related codes in kernel land.

This patchset moves all of macros related to TLV into UAPI header. To avoid
confusions such as name conflict in user land, these macros have prefixes of
'SNDRV_CTL_TLVT_' and 'SNDRV_CTL_TLVD_'. When adding new items to the protocol,
developers should use these prefixes and add them to the UAPI header.

Changes from RFC:
 - Drop second patch to replace include statements
 - Rename each macros to prevent applications from name conflict

    applications
