No, that's not correct. By loss of vertical sync, I mean the IPU
captures portions of two different frames, resulting in a permanent
"split image", with one frame containing portions of two consecutive
images. Or, the video rolls continuously, if you remember the old CRT
television sets of yore, it's the same rolling effect.
I have seen that rolling effect, but the iMX6 regains correct sync
within one complete "roll" just fine here with IMX219. However, it
has always recovered.
So, I don't think there's a problem with the iMX6 part of the
processing, and so I don't think we should cripple the iMX6 capture
drivers for this problem.
And there is no crippling going on. Measuring the frame intervals
adds very little overhead.
