marfrit 895f57c63a Phase 8.2: kernel ↔ daemon chardev bridge with round-trip test
Adds /dev/daedalus-v4l2 misc chardev to the kernel module. The
chardev is the IPC channel for the future userspace decoder
daemon: kernel enqueues REQ_* messages, daemon read()s them,
processes, write()s RESP_* back.

Wire protocol (pre-1.0, header in include/daedalus_v4l2_proto.h):
- struct daedalus_msg_hdr: magic (D04V) + version + type +
  cookie + payload_len + reserved
- Request/response separated by high bit of type field
- Max 64 KiB payload per message
- Cookie correlates request with matching response

Kernel implementation (kernel/daedalus_v4l2_chardev.{c,h}):
- Single-instance chardev (-EBUSY on second open)
- In-kernel FIFO bounded at 64 messages
- Blocking + non-blocking read; poll() with EPOLLIN on queued
- write() parses + validates header, logs response at pr_debug
- Bad magic → -EBADMSG, bad version → -EPROTO, oversize → -EMSGSIZE
- All error paths free resources

Phase 8.2 test trigger via debugfs:
- /sys/kernel/debug/daedalus_v4l2/test_ping — any byte
  enqueues a PING with a fixed 24-byte payload. Removed in
  Phase 8.4 when real REQ_DECODE from V4L2 path takes over.

Userspace verification tool (tools/test_chardev_pingpong.c):
- Real C program, proper error reporting via strerror
- Validates the 6-step round-trip: open → empty-queue EAGAIN →
  trigger ping → read PING → verify all fields → write PONG → close
- Builds with -Wall -Wextra clean

Verification on hertz (Pi 5, 6.12.75+rpt-rpi-2712):
  $ sudo insmod daedalus_v4l2.ko
  $ sudo tools/test_chardev_pingpong
  opening /dev/daedalus-v4l2...
    non-blocking read on empty queue: EAGAIN ✓
    injected PING via debugfs ✓
    read PING: magic ✓ version ✓ type=PING ✓ cookie=0x1234 ✓ payload=24 bytes
      payload: "DAEDALUS-V4L2-PING-PL"
    wrote PONG (cookie=0x1234) ✓
  ALL TESTS PASSED.
  $ sudo rmmod daedalus_v4l2      # clean

Per correctness-before-speed: full kerneldoc on structs, 8-tab
kernel style, SPDX headers, proper error paths, real test
program (not "I ran it once"), failure-mode coverage documented.

Phase 8.3 next: userspace daemon with dlopen'd FFmpeg parse path.

* daedalus-v4l2 — kernel ↔ daemon wire protocol.
*
* Shared header used by both the kernel module
* (drivers/daedalus_v4l2_chardev.c) and the userspace daemon
* (daemon/src/main.c). ABI: pre-1.0 — no stability guarantees
* until DAEDALUS_PROTO_VERSION reaches 1.
*
* Transport: a single-instance chardev at /dev/daedalus-v4l2.
* The userspace daemon opens the chardev O_RDWR, then drives a
* blocking read() / write() loop:
*
* write(): submit a response to a prior request (RESP_*).
* read(): block until the next request from the kernel
* (REQ_*) is available.
*
* Each message is a `struct daedalus_msg_hdr` followed by an
* optional variable-length payload of `hdr.payload_len` bytes.
*
* Phase 8.2 (chardev bridge): only PING/PONG implemented.
* Phase 8.4 (VP9 end-to-end): adds DECODE_FRAME request,
* FRAME_READY response.
