The DW100 driver gets the dewarping mapping as a binary blob from the
userspace application through a custom control.
The blob format is hardware specific so create a dedicated control for
this purpose.

+The Vivante DW100 m2m driver implements the following driver-specific control:
+
+``V4L2_CID_DW100_DEWARPING_16x16_VERTEX_MAP (integer)``

(integer) -> (__u32 array)

But should this be a __u32 array at all? Wouldn't a __u16 array make more sense?

+    *chapter 13.15.2.3 Dewarping Remap* of IMX8MP_ reference manual as an U32
+    dynamic array. The image is divided into many small 16x16 blocks. If the
+    width of the image is not divisible by 16, the size of the rightmost block
+    is the remainder.

Isn't the same true for the height?

The dewarping map only saves the vertex coordinates of the
+    block. The dewarping grid map is comprised of vertex coordinates for x and y.
+    Each x, y coordinate register uses 16 bits (UQ12.4) to record the coordinate

As mentioned before, UQ12.4 is not necessarily a standard notation. 'unsigned 12.4
fixed point' is better, but you also need to specify exactly where the bits are
stored inside the __u16. I.e.: 'the integer part is stored in the 12 most significant
bits, and the fractional part is stored in the 4 least significant bits of the __u16.'

Isn't that implied ? I've never seen fixed-point numbers stored the
other way around.

True, perhaps that's overkill.


Regarding the Q notation, while it was coined by TI, I think it's
widespread enough to be used here. I don't mind much though.

I had to look it up :-)

That might say more about me, though...

I think the key phrase that is missing here is "fixed point".
I will then replace in the documentation and comments "UQ12.4" by "an unsigned 12.4 fixed point format (UQ12.4)". Considering that I am using "UQ12_4" in some symbol names, this might ease the overall code understanding.

+    address, with the Y coordinate in the upper bits and X in the lower bits.

And with a __u16 array this becomes: 'The array contains pairs of X, Y coordinates.'
Or something along those lines.

documentation so users of this control know where to find the associated
