What I tried to do is to have an ACPI-probed driver loading a "normal"
non-ACPI driver.

If Atomisp driver would be using the sensor, what's there won't make
it work.
For example, this is the sensor driver for the device I'm using here to
test the atomisp driver:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/tree/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/i2c/atomisp-ov2680.c
It does contain an ACPI table at the end:
static const struct acpi_device_id ov2680_acpi_match[] = {
{"XXOV2680"},
{"OVTI2680"},
{},
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, ov2680_acpi_match);
Which causes the driver to be properly probed via ACPI.
However, this sensor driver (and all other sensor drivers meant to work
with ISP2xxx chipsets) require this ancillary code:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/tree/drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp_gmin_platform.c
Which parses the BIOS shipped on such devices.
The code there needs to identify if one of those I2C PMIC drivers
were also loaded:
#define PMIC_ACPI_AXP "INT33F4:00" /* XPower AXP288 PMIC */
#define PMIC_ACPI_TI "INT33F5:00" /* Dollar Cove TI PMIC */
#define PMIC_ACPI_CRYSTALCOVE "INT33FD:00" /* Crystal Cove PMIC */
As those 3 different PMICs may control the sensor power up/down.
Some devices may also use a regulator driver. The ancillary routines
have some logic to detect the PMIC type (with can very from different
versions of the Atom CPU).
The driver also need to get sensor-specific platform data.
For the sensor I have, it need those:
{"OVTI2680:00_CsiPort", "1"},
{"OVTI2680:00_CsiLanes", "1"},
{"OVTI2680:00_CsiFmt", "15"},
{"OVTI2680:00_CsiBayer", "0"},
{"OVTI2680:00_CamClk", "1"},
>From some tests and from the comments at the atomisp driver, there are
3 ways used by BIOS developers to store those information:
1) via this EFI variable:
#define GMIN_CFG_VAR_EFI_GUID EFI_GUID(0xecb54cd9, 0xe5ae, 0x4fdc, \
0xa9, 0x71, 0xe8, 0x77, \
0x75, 0x60, 0x68, 0xf7)
2) by reading _DSM from the camera information:
Device (CAM1)
{
Name (_ADR, Zero) // _ADR: Address
Name (_HID, "OVTI2680") // _HID: Hardware ID
...
Name (C1CD, Buffer (0x0220){})
Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) // _DSM: Device-Specific Method
{
If ((Arg0 == ToUUID ("dc2f6c4f-045b-4f1d-97b9-882a6860a4be")))
{
Local0 = Package (0x12)
{
"CamId",
"ov2680",
"CamType",
"1",
"CsiPort",
"0",
"CsiLanes",
"1",
"CsiFmt",
"15",
"CsiBayer",
"0",
"CamClk",
"1",
"Regulator1p8v",
"0",
"Regulator2p8v",
"0"
}
Return (Local0)
}
...
(The current version of atomisp driver doesn't parse it yet)
3) Still, some devices don't have neither of them, so the driver needs
to have their values hardcoded.
It sounds to me that (2) is actually an evolution of (1). So, older BIOS
would use GMIN_CFG_VAR_EFI_GUID way, while newer would use the _DSM
way, and others may just hardcode it inside the driver or at the
Windows .INF files.
So we need some code to parse device-specific ACPI stuff.
As I mentioned above, in the case of ISP2xxx, a single parser is used
for all atomisp-based devices.
So, except if all BIOS manufacturers started to provide an unified
reliable way to store camera data for IPU3 and newer versions
(with I seriously doubt), we'll need to add a parser for those
ACPI-specific things.
Such code could be added directly at the sensor drivers, but I
suspect that this will generate a lot of code duplication, making
it very painful to maintain.
So, IMHO, we should work on some code that would be parsing it
outside the sensor driver itself.

- Atomisp driver probes fine and detects its associated hardware;
- Atomisp firmware code loads and runs properly (as far as we were
able to test it);
- Sensor and ISP are properly powered up;
- v4l2-ctl and qv4l2 can read from device's controls;
- If set to the sensor resolution and format, streaming causes
the driver code to receive IRQ as frame buffers arrive;
There are still lots of issues:
- the memory allocation code there is very suspicious, and
it cause troubles, depending on what userspace does
(for example, using the scaler);
- right now, VIDIOC_DQBUF doesn't return anything (using
a very simple app with the absolute minimum set of ioctls
needed to start streaming).
Yet, the driver receives IRQs notifying that new frames
arrived. So, from the chipset PoV, streaming is working.
I suspect that the current driver is waiting for userspace
to receive V4L2 events before releasing buffers via DQBUF.

As I said, the problem is not probing the sensor via ACPI, but, instead,
to be able receive platform-specific data.
