Research direction

Search the repository for drivers/staging/oculus/stp/ and the listed symbols, then compare the available branches or tags with the boot.img source paths. Done means identifying the corresponding branch or source release, or confirming that the STP driver is not present in the repository.

Description

Hi Meta/Oculus kernel maintainers,

I am trying to locate the complete corresponding source code for a kernel binary distributed with an Oculus/Meta device.
In the extracted boot.img kernel binary, I found the following built-in source path references:

drivers/staging/oculus/stp/stp/common/stp_common.c
drivers/staging/oculus/stp/device/stp_device.c
drivers/staging/oculus/stp/stp/common/stp_pipeline.c
drivers/staging/oculus/stp/stp/controller/stp_controller.c
drivers/staging/oculus/stp/driver/stp_driver.c

The same kernel binary also contains STP-related symbols such as:

stp_channel_open
stp_channel_close
stp_channel_read
stp_channel_write
stp_channel_wait_read_timeout
stp_channel_connected
stp_channel_rx_filled
stp_get_device_ready
stp_protocol_synced
stp_check_stale_channel
register_spi_stp_notifier
unregister_spi_stp_notifier

However, I could not find the corresponding source directory:

drivers/staging/oculus/stp/

in this repository/branch. Under drivers/staging/oculus/, I only see directories such as include, mcu, mfi, oculus_instruction_sampler

Could you please point me to the correct branch/tag/source release that contains the corresponding source code for this built-in STP driver?

I may be looking at the wrong branch, so any guidance on the correct corresponding source release would be appreciated.

Thanks.
