+TODO for the driver
+------------------------------
+
+- According to the SiLabs' datasheet it is possible to update the
+ firmware of the radio chip in the run-time, thus bringing it to the
+ most recent version. Unfortunately I couldn't find any mentioning of
+ the said firmware update for the old chips that I tested the driver
+ against, so for chips like that the driver only exposes the old
+ functionality.
+
+
+Parameters exposed over debugfs
+-------------------------------
+SI476x allow user to get multiple characteristics that can be very
+useful for EoL testing/RF performance estimation, parameters that have
+very little to do with V4L2 subsystem. Such parameters are exposed via
+debugfs and can be accessed via regular file I/O operations.
+
+The drivers exposes following files:
+
+* /sys/kernel/debug/<device-name>/acf
+ This file contains ACF(Automatically Controlled Features) status
+ information. The contents of the file is binary data of the
+ following layout:
+

+ | | crossed below the blend threshold
