===============================
200~CEC is handled through the vc4 driver in mainline - no need for
VCHIQ.
cec-client doesn't handle multiple Linux kernel CEC API interfaces - it
has hard defines like that at
https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/blob/master/include/cectypes.h#L287
Use cec-ctl (part of v4l-utils) instead of libcec - libcec is largely
abandonware.
===============================
The part about abandonware and not capable of handling the Linux kernel
CEC API interfaces sound rather problematic.
So maybe it's a good idea to switch in the Trixie dev cycle?
