Hi all,

Is there anything that blocks me from merging this?

This plugin work has been ongoing for years and unless there are serious
objections I propose that this is merged.

Jacek, is there anything missing that would prevent merging this?

There were issues raised by Sakari during last review, related to
the way how v4l2 control bindings are defined. That discussion wasn't
finished, so I stayed by my approach. Other than that - I've tested it
and it works fine both with GStreamer and my test app.

Best regards,
Jacek Anaszewski

This is a seventh version of the patch series adding a plugin for the
Exynos4 camera. Last version [0] of the patch set was posted in
January.

The plugin doesn't link against libmediactl, but has its sources
compiled in. Currently utils are built after the plugins, but
libv4l-exynos4-camera plugin depends on the utils. In order to link
the plugin against libmediactl the build system would have to be
modified.

================
Changes from v6:
================

- close v4l2 sub-devices on media device release
- moved non-generic code from libmediactl to the plugin
- resigned from adding libmedia_ioctl library and moved all its
  code to the plugin, since it depended on pipeline representation,
  which was not generic for all possible media device topologies
- used media_get_info()->name instead of adding media_entity_get_name
- renamed media_get_backlinks_by_entity() to
media_entity_get_backlinks(()
- moved pipeline from struct media_device to the plugin
- changed the way of associating video device file descriptor with
media device
- switched to using auto-generated media-bus-format-names.h header file
- renamed v4l2-ctrl-redir config entry name to v4l2-ctrl-binding

================
Changes from v5:
================

- fixed and tested use cases with S5K6A3 sensor and FIMC-IS-ISP
- added conversion "colorspace id to string"

================
Changes from v4:
================

- removed some redundant functions for traversing media device graph
  and switched over to using existing ones
- avoided accessing struct v4l2_subdev from libmediactl
- applied various improvements

================
Changes from v3:
================

- added struct v4l2_subdev and put entity fd and
  information about supported controls to it
- improved functions for negotiating and setting
  pipeline format by using available libv4lsubdev API
- applied minor improvements and cleanups

================
Changes from v2:
================

- switched to using mediatext library for parsing
  the media device configuration
- extended libmediactl
- switched to using libmediactl

================
Changes from v1:
================

- removed redundant mbus code negotiation
- split the parser, media device helpers and ioctl wrappers
  to the separate modules
- added mechanism for querying extended controls
- applied various fixes and modifications



The plugin was tested on v4.8-rc2 (exynos4-is driver doesn't proble
properly
with current master branch of linux-media.git) with patches fixing
several
issues for Exynos4 camera: [1], [2], [3].

The plugin expects a configuration file:
/var/lib/libv4l/exynos4_capture_conf

Exemplary configuration file for pipeline with sensor
S5C73M3 (rear camera):

==========================================

link-conf "s5p-mipi-csis.0":1 -> "FIMC.0":0 [1]
v4l2-ctrl-binding 0x0098091f -> "fimc.0.capture"
v4l2-ctrl-binding 0x00980902 -> "S5C73M3"
v4l2-ctrl-binding 0x00980922 -> "fimc.0.capture"
v4l2-ctrl-binding 0x009a0914 -> "S5C73M3"

==========================================

With this settings the plugin can be tested on the exynos4412-trats2
board
using following gstreamer pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1
extra-controls="c,rotate=90,color_effects=2" !
video/x-raw,width=960,height=720 ! fbdevsink

Exemplary configuration file for pipeline with sensor
S5K6A3 (front camera):

==========================================

link-conf "s5p-mipi-csis.1":1 -> "FIMC-LITE.1":0 [1]
link-conf "FIMC-LITE.1":2 -> "FIMC-IS-ISP":0 [1]
link-conf "FIMC-IS-ISP":1 -> "FIMC.0":1 [1]

==========================================

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1
extra-controls="c,rotate=270,color_effects=2,horizontal_flip=1" !
video/x-raw,width=960,height=920 ! fbdevsink
