I am not certain this op is needed at all. In the current kernel this
op is only used by soc_camera, pxa_camera and omap3isp (somewhat
dubious). Normally this information should come from the device tree
and there should be no need for this op.
My (tentative) long-term plan was to get rid of this op.
If you don't need it, then I recommend it is removed.
Hi Hans, the imx-media driver was only calling g_mbus_config to the
camera sensor, and it was doing that to determine the sensor's bus type.
This info was already available from parsing a v4l2_of_endpoint from the
sensor node. So it was simple to remove the g_mbus_config calls, and
instead rely on the parsed sensor v4l2_of_endpoint.
That's not a good point.
(mea culpa, s/point/idea/)
The imx-media driver must not parse the sensor DT node as it is not aware
of what bindings the sensor is compatible with.
Hi Laurent,
I don't really understand this argument. The sensor node has been found
by parsing the OF graph, so it is known to be a camera sensor node at
that point.
Information must instead
be queried from the sensor subdev at runtime, through the g_mbus_config()
operation.
Of course, if you can get the information from the imx-media DT node,
that's certainly an option. It's only information provided by the sensor
driver that you have no choice but query using a subdev operation.
Shouldn't this come from the imx-media DT node? BTW, why is omap3isp using
this?
It all depends on what type of information needs to be retrieved, and whether
it can change at runtime or is fixed. Adding properties to the imx-media DT
node is certainly fine as long as those properties describe the i.MX side.
In this case the info needed is the media bus type. That info is most easily
available by calling v4l2_of_parse_endpoint() on the sensor's endpoint node.
The media bus type is not something that can be added to the
imx-media node since it contains no endpoint nodes.
In the omap3isp case, we use the operation to query whether parallel data
contains embedded sync (BT.656) or uses separate h/v sync signals.
The reason I am suspicious about this op is that it came from soc-camera and
predates the DT. The contents of v4l2_mbus_config seems very much like a HW
description to me, i.e. something that belongs in the DT.
Part of it is possibly outdated, but for buses that support multiple modes of
operation (such as the parallel bus case described above) we need to make that
information discoverable at runtime. Maybe this should be considered as
related to Sakari's efforts to support VC/DT for CSI-2, and supported through
the API he is working on.
That sounds interesting, can you point me to some info on this effort?
I've been thinking the DT should contain virtual channel info for CSI-2
buses.
