+================================
+Starfive Camera Subsystem driver
+================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This file documents the driver for the Starfive Camera Subsystem found on
+Starfive JH7110 SoC. The driver is located under drivers/media/platform/starfive.
+
+The driver implements V4L2, Media controller and v4l2_subdev interfaces.
+Camera sensor using V4L2 subdev interface in the kernel is supported.
+
+The driver has been successfully used on the Gstreamer 1.18.5 with
+v4l2src plugin.
+
+
+Starfive Camera Subsystem hardware
+----------------------------------
+
+The Starfive Camera Subsystem hardware consists of:
+
+- MIPI DPHY Receiver: receives mipi data from a MIPI camera sensor.
+- MIPI CSIRx Controller: is responsible for handling and decoding CSI2 protocol
+  based camera sensor data stream.
+- ISP: handles the image data streams from the MIPI CSIRx Controller.
+- VIN(Video In): a top-level module, is responsible for controlling power
+  and clocks to other modules, dumps the input data to memory or transfers the
+  input data to ISP.
+
+
+Topology
+--------
+
+The media controller pipeline graph is as follows:
+
+.. _starfive_camss_graph:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: starfive_camss_graph.dot
+    :alt:   starfive_camss_graph.dot
+    :align: center
+
+The driver has 5 video devices:
+
+- stf_vin0_wr_video0: capture device for images directly from the VIN module.
+- stf_vin0_isp0_video1: capture device for images without scaling.
+- stf_vin0_isp0_ss0_video2: capture device for images with adjustable
+  scale-down factor.
+- stf_vin0_isp0_ss1_video3: capture device for images with adjustable
+  scale-down factor.
+- stf_vin0_isp0_raw_video4: capture device for RAW images.
+
+The driver has 6 subdevices:
+
+- stf_isp0: is responsible for all the isp operations.
+- stf_vin0_wr: used to dump RAW images to memory.
+- stf_vin0_isp0: used to capture unscaled images for the stf_vin0_isp0_video1
+  device.
+- stf_vin0_isp0_ss0: used to resize and downsample frames for
+  the stf_vin0_isp0_ss0_video2 capture device.
+- stf_vin0_isp0_ss1: used to resize and downsample frames for
+  the stf_vin0_isp0_ss1_video3 capture device.
+- stf_vin0_isp0_raw: used to configure the camss ISP to get RAW
+  images for stf_vin0_isp0_raw_video4 capture device.
