Fabio,

Thanks for the heads up on that repo.  I was able to use that repo and
get still images to capture on an OV5640, but I noticed a fair amount
of differences between that repo and what's found in linux-next.

Laurent,

I haven't exhausted the patch differences, but I found at least a few
that appear to be missiing upstream, and I am curious to know if/what
your opinion is on whether or not they're needed, since the patches on
Frieder's repo appear to come from you.
[1] - media: imx: imx7-media-csi: Add i.MX8MM identification
[2] - media: imx: imx7_mipi_csis: Don't set reserved CLK_CTRL field on i.MX8MM
[3] - media: imx: imx7_mipi_csis: Set dual pixel mode for RAW formats

media: imx: imx7_mipi_csis: Set dual pixel mode for RAW formats

Maybe these don't need to be applied, but they are 'some' of the
differences that I see between this 5.10 branch and linux-next .  I
know there are more, but


[1] - https://git.kontron-electronics.de/sw/misc/linux/-/commit/8ac7ec6db0c260a871038721886dbdb6660ed84c
[2] - https://git.kontron-electronics.de/sw/misc/linux/-/commit/0b5727c8eba8c370f7db5eace0243f78992a4dbb
[3] - https://git.kontron-electronics.de/sw/misc/linux/-/commit/14befa6bc146b10092a6ac5d0ed4d42c87c6cf27

Frieder et al,

Have you (or anyone) tried CSI cameras on anything newer than 5.10?  I
am curious to see if a regression popped in somewhere, but git bisect
will make this difficult since there is a fair amount of variation
between this custom repo and the upstream.
