+ <para>
+ Note: this documents the proposed CEC API. This API is not yet finalized and
+ is currently only available as a staging kernel module.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>To query the current physical address applications call the
+<constant>CEC_ADAP_G_PHYS_ADDR</constant> ioctl with a pointer to an __u16
+where the driver stores the physical address.</para>
+
+ <para>To set a new physical address applications store the physical address in
+an __u16 and call the <constant>CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR</constant> ioctl with a
+pointer to this integer. <constant>CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR</constant> is only
+available if <constant>CEC_CAP_PHYS_ADDR</constant> is set (&ENOTTY; will be returned
+otherwise). <constant>CEC_ADAP_S_PHYS_ADDR</constant>
+can only be called by a file handle in initiator mode (see &CEC-S-MODE;), if not
+&EBUSY; will be returned.</para>
+
+ <para>The physical address is a 16-bit number where each group of 4 bits
+represent a digit of the physical address a.b.c.d where the most significant
+4 bits represent 'a'. The CEC root device (usually the TV) has address 0.0.0.0.
+Every device that is hooked up to an input of the TV has address a.0.0.0 (where
+'a' is &ge; 1), devices hooked up to those in turn have addresses a.b.0.0, etc.
+So a topology of up to 5 devices deep is supported. The physical address a
+device shall use is stored in the EDID of the sink.</para>
+
+<para>For example, the EDID for each HDMI input of the TV will have a different
+physical address of the form a.0.0.0 that the sources will read out and use as
+their physical address.</para>
