But then you could set the host bus width accordingly for example :
MT9T031 MSB connected do data 9 : HOST Buswidth = 10
MT9T031 MSB connected to data 15: Host Buswdth = 16

How does the driver know which MSB of the sensor data line is connected to the host bus? This is to be configured in our hardware register. Without this, I need to hardcode it which doesn't seem right.

I know you don't want to hardcode this, it is just not clear to me why 3 parameters are needed. Let's take two different hardware setup : MT9T031 with MSB connected on video pin 9 and 11

struct v4l2_bus_settings mt9t031_msb9 = {
	.subdev_width=10
	.host_width= ???
	.host_msb = 9
};

struct v4l2_bus_settings mt9t031_msb11 = {
	.subdev_width=10
	.host_width= ???
	.host_msb = 11
};

I can't see what is the use of those three parameters, and you have a cohabitation of width and bit number which is error prone.

Can you explain what is the meaning of host_width, or provide a realistic example where this 3 settings are useful ?

Hans,

Had hit the send by mistake. Please ignore my previous reply...

<snip>
It seems very unlikely to me that someone would ever choose to e.g.
zero
one or more MSB pins instead of the LSB pins in a case like this.

No case in my experience...

<snip>
Or do you have examples where that actually happens?

DM365 can work with 10 bit or 12 bit sensors. DM365 CCDC that receives
the
image data needs to know which data lines have valid data. This is done
by
specifying the MSB position. There is ccdc register to configure this
information. Ideally, you could connect the MSB of sensor to following
lines on host bus:-
data9-data15 for MT9T031
data11-data15 for MT9P031
But then you could set the host bus width accordingly for example :
MT9T031 MSB connected do data 9 : HOST Buswidth = 10
MT9T031 MSB connected to data 15: Host Buswdth = 16

Since the host/sensor info are in the same structure, we can have
several subdev with different host buswidth.

So it makes sense to specify this choice in the structure. I have not
added this earlier since we wanted to use the structure only for sub device
configuration. It has changed since then.
I am also not sure if s_bus() is required since this will get set in the
platform data which could then be passed to the sub device using the new
api while loading it. When would host driver call s_bus()?
If this never happens, then there is also no need for such a bitfield.

I think I want to actually see someone using this before we add a field
like that.

Hi Murali,

From: Muralidharan Karicheri <a0868495@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch adds support for setting bus parameters such as bus type
(Raw Bayer or Raw YUV image data bus), bus width (example 10 bit raw
image data bus, 10 bit BT.656 etc.), and polarities (vsync, hsync,
field
etc) in sub device. This allows bridge driver to configure the sub
device
bus for a specific set of bus parameters through s_bus() function
call.
This also can be used to define platform specific bus parameters for
host and sub-devices.

I've been thinking about this for a while and I think this struct
should
be extended with the host bus parameters as well:

struct v4l2_bus_settings {
	/* yuv or bayer image data bus */
	enum v4l2_bus_type type;
	/* embedded sync, set this when sync is embedded in the data
stream
*/
	unsigned embedded_sync:1;
	/* master or slave */
	unsigned host_is_master:1;

	/* bus width */
	unsigned sd_width:8;
	/* 0 - active low, 1 - active high */
	unsigned sd_pol_vsync:1;
	/* 0 - active low, 1 - active high */
	unsigned sd_pol_hsync:1;
	/* 0 - low to high, 1 - high to low */
	unsigned sd_pol_field:1;
	/* 0 - sample at falling edge, 1 - sample at rising edge */
	unsigned sd_edge_pclock:1;
	/* 0 - active low, 1 - active high */
	unsigned sd_pol_data:1;

	/* host bus width */
	unsigned host_width:8;
	/* 0 - active low, 1 - active high */
	unsigned host_pol_vsync:1;
	/* 0 - active low, 1 - active high */
	unsigned host_pol_hsync:1;
	/* 0 - low to high, 1 - high to low */
	unsigned host_pol_field:1;
	/* 0 - sample at falling edge, 1 - sample at rising edge */
	unsigned host_edge_pclock:1;
	/* 0 - active low, 1 - active high */
	unsigned host_pol_data:1;
};

It makes sense since you need to setup both ends of the bus, and
having
both ends defined in the same struct keeps everything together. I
have
thought about having separate host and subdev structs, but part of
the
bus
description is always common (bus type, master/slave,
embedded/separate
syncs), while another part can be different for each end of the bus.

It's all bitfields, so it is a very compact representation.

In addition, I think we need to require that at the start of the
s_bus
implementation in the host or subdev there should be a standard
comment
block describing the possible combinations supported by the hardware:

/* Subdevice foo supports the following bus settings:

  types: RAW_BAYER (widths: 8/10/12, syncs: embedded/separate)
         RAW_YUV (widths: 8/16, syncs: embedded)
  bus master: slave
  vsync polarity: 0/1
  hsync polarity: 0/1
  field polarity: not applicable
  sampling edge pixelclock: 0/1
  data polarity: 1
*/

This should make it easy for implementers to pick a valid set of bus
parameters.

Regards,

      Hans
