This patch adds "sync-on-green" property as part of
endpoint properties and also support to parse them in the parser.

Are you sure this is what you need for the TVP7002 chip ?
I think we should differentiate between analog and digital signals and
the related
device's configuration. AFAIU for the analog part there can be various video
sychronisation methods, i.e. ways in which the synchronisation signals are
transmitted along side the video component (RGB or luma/chroma) signals.
According
to [1] (presumably not most reliable source of information) there are
following
methods of transmitting sync signals:
- Separate sync
- Composite sync
- Sync-on-green (SOG)
- Sync-on-luminance
- Sync-on-composite
And all these seem to refer to analog video signal.
From looking at Figure 8 "TVP7002 Application Example" in the TVP7002's
datasheet
([2], p. 52) and your initial TVP7002 patches it looks like what you
want is to
specify polarity of the SOGOUT signal, so the processor that receives
this signal
can properly interpret it, is it correct ?
If so then wouldn't it be more appropriate to define e.g. 'sog-active'
property
and media bus flags:
V4L2_MBUS_SYNC_ON_GREEN_ACTIVE_LOW
V4L2_MBUS_SYNC_ON_GREEN_ACTIVE_HIGH
?
And for synchronisation method on the analog part we could perhaps define
'component-sync' or similar property that would enumerate all possible
synchronisation methods. We might as well use separate boolean properties,
but I'm a bit concerned about the increasing number of properties that need
to be parsed for each parallel video bus "endpoint".
Anyway I'm not sure if we would already have use cases for the
'component-sync'
property.
