Re: [PATCH 2/6 v5] Support for TVP7002 in dm365 board

Sneha,


So, if I got it right, have_tvp7002 is unnecessary since that initialization is done via the CPLD interface. Therefore, all I need to do is actually remove the logic for the device from board-dm365-evm.h. Am I right? If so, should I also remove the logic for tvp5146?

Regards,

I've said this before, but I'll say it again.  I don't like the
#ifdef-on-Kconfig-option here.

Can you add a probe hook to the platform_data so that when the tvp7002
is found it can call pdata->probe() which could then set a flag
for use by have_tvp7002().

This will have he same effect without the ifdef since if the driver
is not compiled in, its probe can never be triggered.

Kevin,

I've been working on this particular implementation. This
board-dm365-evm.c is specific to the board, therefore I don't still
get the point of not having those values wired to the board file, but
I know it'd be nice to have the CPLD configuration triggered upon
TVP7002 detection. I see two options:
Having them in the board file is appropriate, what I object to is the
selection by Kconfig.  Run-time detection is always preferred when
possible.

We have this CPLD init API - evm_init_cpld() called from the dm365_evm_init() function. The CPLD init API was trying to initialize the CPLD, based on the default configuration. I believe David Brownell had this placeholder for have_imager() and have_tvp7002() APIs since, we have different CPLD settings for the imager, tvp7002 and tvp5146 for the video input source.

1. Do the callback function inside pdata and initialize it at driver
load time (tvp7002_probe). Set tvp5146 as default and override when
driver loads (and restore when unloads).
This is the preferred option to me.

We can decide on the default video input source to be TVP5146. However we do not need a new callback function. We already have the VPFE .setup_input callback API dm365evm_setup_video_input() for the same purpose. The VPFE .setup_input API is called when each of the decoders (sub-devices) registered with VPFE capture driver. It is also called when the application decides on an input source and switches between the input sources.

So, TVP5146 remains as the default video input source, only until VPFE probe is called, which registers the all decoders (sub-devices) defined in the VPFE platform data. This also means that the last decoder in the VPFE platform data remains active after boot-up. One can change the order in the VPFE platform data if a particular input source needs to remain active after boot-up. Note that application can always switch the input-source at run time.

I quickly tried removing the have_imager() construct in the evm_init_cpld() and here is the output -

As you can see, the default video input source is TVP5146 and it has been video input source has been switched to TVP7002.

Thanks
Sneha

2. Add an entry to sysfs such that it can be user-configurable whether
to activate one of the other regardless of whether tvp5156 or tvp7002
are actually there (the only result would be fail to access the
device).
Why do you need sysfs options for switching?  Wouldn't building as
modules and loading/unloading the needed modules serve the same
purpose?

Remeber that the 'probe' isn't going to be called until the
platform_driver
is registered, and that will (usually) happen at module load time.

Sneha, do you have any suggestions on this one?
Kevin
