media: docs: split ci.rst into uAPI and user guide docs

Browse Source 
The ci.rst file contains two parts: the first one describing
how to use the CA high level interface; the second one with
uAPI internals.

Split this on two separate files, adding the uAPI bits
to the DVB ca.rst configuration.

The High level CI API
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the programmer
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
With the High Level CI approach any new card with almost any random
architecture can be implemented with this style, the definitions
inside the switch statement can be easily adapted for any card, thereby
eliminating the need for any additional ioctls.
The disadvantage is that the driver/hardware has to manage the rest. For
the application programmer it would be as simple as sending/receiving an
array to/from the CI ioctls as defined in the Linux DVB API. No changes
have been made in the API to accommodate this feature.
Why the need for another CI interface?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is one of the most commonly asked question. Well a nice question.
Strictly speaking this is not a new interface.
The CI interface is defined in the DVB API in ca.h as:
.. code-block:: c
typedef struct ca_slot_info {
int num; /* slot number */
int type; /* CA interface this slot supports */
#define CA_CI 1 /* CI high level interface */
#define CA_CI_LINK 2 /* CI link layer level interface */
#define CA_CI_PHYS 4 /* CI physical layer level interface */
#define CA_DESCR 8 /* built-in descrambler */
#define CA_SC 128 /* simple smart card interface */
unsigned int flags;
#define CA_CI_MODULE_PRESENT 1 /* module (or card) inserted */
#define CA_CI_MODULE_READY 2
} ca_slot_info_t;
This CI interface follows the CI high level interface, which is not
implemented by most applications. Hence this area is revisited.
This CI interface is quite different in the case that it tries to
accommodate all other CI based devices, that fall into the other categories.
This means that this CI interface handles the EN50221 style tags in the
Application layer only and no session management is taken care of by the
application. The driver/hardware will take care of all that.
This interface is purely an EN50221 interface exchanging APDU's. This
means that no session management, link layer or a transport layer do
exist in this case in the application to driver communication. It is
as simple as that. The driver/hardware has to take care of that.
With this High Level CI interface, the interface can be defined with the
regular ioctls.
All these ioctls are also valid for the High level CI interface
#define CA_RESET _IO('o', 128)
#define CA_GET_CAP _IOR('o', 129, ca_caps_t)
#define CA_GET_SLOT_INFO _IOR('o', 130, ca_slot_info_t)
#define CA_GET_DESCR_INFO _IOR('o', 131, ca_descr_info_t)
#define CA_GET_MSG _IOR('o', 132, ca_msg_t)
#define CA_SEND_MSG _IOW('o', 133, ca_msg_t)
#define CA_SET_DESCR _IOW('o', 134, ca_descr_t)
On querying the device, the device yields information thus:
.. code-block:: none

Not all ioctl's are implemented in the driver from the API, the other
features of the hardware that cannot be implemented by the API are achieved
using the CA_GET_MSG and CA_SEND_MSG ioctls. An EN50221 style wrapper is
used to exchange the data to maintain compatibility with other hardware.

/* a message to/from a CI-CAM */
typedef struct ca_msg {
unsigned int index;
unsigned int type;
unsigned int length;

The High level CI API
