I'll have to retest, I think I had to set dual pixel mode to capture RAW8 and RAW10 with the OV5640, but setting it broke raw capture with a different sensor. More investigation is needed. In any case, with or without that patch, you should get interrupts from the CSIS as the dual pixel mode is related to the interface with the CSI bridge. > 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'll try to run tests on mainline again, but it will have to wait a couple of weeks I'm afraid. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
