No, sorry, this wasn't my question. By "client" I meant one camera or decoder or whatever chip connects to a camera host. I.e., if we have a single chip with several inputs, that should logically be handled with S_INPUT ioctl, this would further add to the confusion of using different inputs on one video device to switch between chips or inputs / functions
on one chip.

Yes exactly. It was "single chip with several inputs." that I intended to
tell. but still don't get what the confusion you mean. Sorry ;-()
Cheers,

Wow, so, on those phone a "dual camera" is a single (CMOS) controller with two sensors / lenses / filters?... Cool, do you have an example of such a
camera to look for on the net? Preferably with a datasheet available.


Oops sorry I didn't mean that.
I just meant one single camera interface on Application Processor and two camera modules (sensor, lens, isp) connected. Sorry I explained badly.
I considered this as single camera interface with several inputs.

"Confusion" I meant that in this case switching between inputs sometimes
switches you to another controller and sometimes to another function
within the same controller...

I think we don't need to worry about that if we can query camera inputs clearly.
Cheers,

Nate
