Hi Val :)
And sorry for the late response!

Do you mind sharing which sensor is connected on one end to the camera
and the other end to cif ?
I developed this driver using the tw9900 NTSC/PAL/SECAM Video Decoder
and I know that more patches are needed to make this driver work
with other sensors. Look at the series from Michael Riesch where he
adds support for other sensors on top of this series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20240220-v6-8-topic-rk3568-vicap-v1-0-2680a1fa640b@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
PLEASE NOTE: For the moment being I am not working on this driver as I
don't have access to the hardware.
I need a rockchip board that can boot upstream kernel AND that has
DVP (Digital Video Port) camera interface to continue working on CIF.
I have some candidates but I am still not entirely sure how to proceed
further.
ALSO NOTE: This driver still need some more work as you can see in the
last round of reviews: it should be converted to a media device centric
driver that correctly uses the Media Controller.
Look at the discussion here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/ZeWqEkcoYN6gXWS9@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

I will look more into this when/if I contine working on this driver
Still I am happy that other people are taking a look at this series and
doing something with it!
