In these systems Data is processed/converted to IQ samples (digital representation a RF signal) and passed to a RFIC (RF PHY) which converts the digital RF signal (IQ samples) to analog and transmits over antenna. Typically The signal path consists of multiple components: Antenna controller <-> vector signal processors <-> RFIC <-> Antenna Each of these components have specific functionalities: 1. Antenna controller: Framing of digital IQ data into protocol specific frames. 2. vector signal processors: For conditioning of signal. 3. RFIC : converts digital IQ data to analog signal which is transmitted/received on/from Air. Also it is desirable to control the complete signal path, for example: bringing the complete signal path up/down etc. The radio device framework introduces a way to accommodate the RF signal paths. One signal path is represented as a RF device (rf0, rf1 etc), and it can contain multiple components which have their individual vendor specific drivers. The framework provides mechanism by which individual components can register with RF framework, and the framework will handle the binding of individual component devices to a RF device. RF device exports the control interfaces to user space, and this user space interface is independent of component (vendor specific) drivers. This patch set include 1. RF Interface: Independent of phy or antenna controller. 2. AIC driver: Antenna interface Controller(AIC) of Hetrogenous SOC's like BSC9131, BSC9132 4. Device tree bindings for AIC. 5. Device tree changes for BSC9131-AIC changes in v2: 1. incorporated comments for handling pointers in user space API structures. 2. Removed patches for AD9361 phy driver. It shall be sent once a proper driver is in place for AD9361 chip 3. Removed Device tree nodes/bindings for AD9361 4. Incorporated comments for proper handling of wait_events 5. Added Documentation for IOCTL APIs and the structures used. 6. Inserted paddings in user space structures. 7. Reorganized code for rfdev.c to remove forward declaration and broke the rf_ioctl() function to handle local structures correctly. 8. Corrected the error handling for mutex used.
