media: docs: get rid of obsoleted udev documentation
This file is very old, and doesn't match the current udev behavior. I wanted to preserve it, because we'll need some udev description some day about how to keep names unique, but there's nothing here to help with that... So, be it: let's just discard this document, as it doesn't provide anything useful anymore. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

UDEV rules for DVB
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
#) This documentation is outdated. Udev on modern distributions auto-detect
|
||||
the DVB devices.
|
||||
|
||||
#) **TODO:** change this document to explain how to make DVB devices
|
||||
persistent, as, when a machine has multiple devices, they may be detected
|
||||
on different orders, which could cause apps that relies on the device
|
||||
numbers to fail.
|
||||
|
||||
The DVB subsystem currently registers to the sysfs subsystem using the
|
||||
"class_simple" interface.
|
||||
|
||||
This means that only the basic information like module loading parameters
|
||||
are presented through sysfs. Other things that might be interesting are
|
||||
currently **not** available.
|
||||
|
||||
Nevertheless it's now possible to add proper udev rules so that the
|
||||
DVB device nodes are created automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
We assume that you have udev already up and running and that have been
|
||||
creating the DVB device nodes manually up to now due to the missing sysfs
|
||||
support.
|
||||
|
||||
0. Don't forget to disable your current method of creating the
|
||||
device nodes manually.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Unfortunately, you'll need a helper script to transform the kernel
|
||||
sysfs device name into the well known dvb adapter / device naming scheme.
|
||||
The script should be called "dvb.sh" and should be placed into a script
|
||||
dir where udev can execute it, most likely /etc/udev/scripts/
|
||||
|
||||
So, create a new file /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh and add the following:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
#!/bin/sh
|
||||
/bin/echo $1 | /bin/sed -e 's,dvb\([0-9]\)\.\([^0-9]*\)\([0-9]\),dvb/adapter\1/\2\3,'
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget to make the script executable with "chmod".
|
||||
|
||||
1. You need to create a proper udev rule that will create the device nodes
|
||||
like you know them. All real distributions out there scan the /etc/udev/rules.d
|
||||
directory for rule files. The main udev configuration file /etc/udev/udev.conf
|
||||
will tell you the directory where the rules are, most likely it's /etc/udev/rules.d/
|
||||
|
||||
Create a new rule file in that directory called "dvb.rule" and add the following line:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: none
|
||||
|
||||
KERNEL="dvb*", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh %k", NAME="%c"
|
||||
|
||||
If you want more control over the device nodes (for example a special group membership)
|
||||
have a look at "man udev".
|
||||
|
||||
For every device that registers to the sysfs subsystem with a "dvb" prefix,
|
||||
the helper script /etc/udev/scripts/dvb.sh is invoked, which will then
|
||||
create the proper device node in your /dev/ directory.
