Could you use the same lock for the controls as you use for the rest? Just
setting handler->lock after handler init does the trick.

Can you please rephrase, I don't follow. "same lock for the controls as
you use for the rest" - there's only one device lock owned by this driver
and I am already using that same lock.

There's another in the control handler. You could use your own lock for the
control handler as well.

I still don't understand.

The entity stream_count isn't connected to the number of times s_stream(sd,
true) is called. Please remove the check.

It's incremented by media_pipeline_start(), even if the entity is already
a member of the given pipeline.

I added this check because in imx-media, the ov5640 can be streaming
concurrently to multiple video capture devices, and each capture device
calls
media_pipeline_start() at stream on, which increments the entity stream
count.

So if one capture device issues a stream off while others are still
streaming,
ov5640 should remain at stream on. So the entity stream count is being
used as a streaming usage counter. Is there a better way to do this? Should
I use a private stream use counter instead?

Different drivers may use media_pipeline_start() in different ways. Stream
control shouldn't depend on that count. This could cause issues in using the
driver with other ISP / receiver drivers.

I think it should be enough to move the check to the imx driver in this
case.


I will remove this check.

Ditto.

I don't understand. regulator_bulk_disable() is still needed, am I missing
something?

You still need to enable it first. I don't see that being done in probe. As
the driver implements the s_power() op, I don't see a need for powering the
device on at probe time (and conversely off at remove time).

Oh you're right, it must have been left over from a previous revision
I guess. Yes, regulator_bulk_enable|disable() is only called in
ov5640_set_power(). I'll remove regulator_bulk_disable() from
probe/remove.
