+
+ <para>For driver debugging purposes this ioctl allows test
+applications to query the driver about the chips present on the TV
+card. Regular applications must not use it. When you found a chip
+specific bug, please contact the linux-media mailing list (&v4l-ml;)
+so it can be fixed.</para>
+
+ <para>To query the driver applications must initialize the
+<structfield>match.type</structfield> and
+<structfield>match.addr</structfield> or <structfield>match.name</structfield>
+fields of a &v4l2-dbg-chip-name;
+and call <constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_NAME</constant> with a pointer to
+this structure. On success the driver stores information about the
+selected chip in the <structfield>name</structfield> and
+<structfield>flags</structfield> fields. On failure the structure
+remains unchanged.</para>
+
+ <para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
+<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_BRIDGE</constant>,
+<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth bridge 'chip'
+on the TV card. You can enumerate all chips by starting at zero and
+incrementing <structfield>match.addr</structfield> by one until
+<constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_NAME</constant> fails with an &EINVAL;.
+The number zero always selects the bridge chip itself, &eg; the chip
+connected to the PCI or USB bus. Non-zero numbers identify specific
+parts of the bridge chip such as an AC97 register block.</para>
+
+ <para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
+<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_SUBDEV_NAME</constant>,
+<structfield>match.name</structfield> contains the name of a sub-device.
+For instance
+<constant>"saa7127 6-0044"</constant> will match the saa7127 sub-device
+at the given i2c bus. This match type is not very useful for this ioctl
+and is here only for consistency.
+</para>
+
+ <para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
+<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_SUBDEV_IDX</constant>,
+<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth sub-device. This
+allows you to enumerate over all sub-devices.</para>
+
+ <para>On success, the <structfield>name</structfield> field will
+contain a chip name and the <structfield>flags</structfield> field will
+contain <constant>V4L2_CHIP_FL_READABLE</constant> if the driver supports
+reading registers from the device or <constant>V4L2_CHIP_FL_WRITABLE</constant>
+if the driver supports writing registers to the device.</para>
+
+ <para>We recommended the <application>v4l2-dbg</application>
+utility over calling this ioctl directly. It is available from the
+LinuxTV v4l-dvb repository; see <ulink
