Hi,
this patchset introduces cropping support for the Sony IMX274 sensor
using the SELECTION API.
v3 has a few minor improvements over v2. It also removes the first 6
patches, already applied on the media_tree master branch.
After v2 there has been a short discussion with Sakari Ailus on how
cropping should be configured from userspace [0]. That discussion has
gone stale before I could understand the idea behind the changes
suggested by Sakari, so I'm sending the most up-to-date version of the
old implementation to give it a new spin. I'll be glad to rework my
patch when things are clearer.
Patches 1-5 are overall improvements and restructuring, mostly useful
to implement the SELECTION API in a clean way.
Patch 6 introduces a helper to allow setting many registers computed
at runtime in a straightforward way. This would not have been very
useful before because all long register write sequences came from
const tables, but it's definitely a must for the cropping code where
several register values are computed at runtime.
Patch 7 implements cropping in the set_selection pad operation. On the
v4l2 side there is nothing special. The most tricky part was
respecting all the device constraints on the horizontal crop.
Usage examples:
* Capture the entire 4K area, downscaled to 1080p with 2:1 binning:
media-ctl -V '"IMX274":0[crop:(0,0)/3840x2160]'
media-ctl -V '"IMX274":0[fmt:SRGGB8_1X8/1920x1080 field:none]'
* Capture the central 1080p area (no binning):
media-ctl -V '"IMX274":0[crop:(960,540)/1920x1080]'
(this also sets the fmt to 1920x1080)
Regards,
Luca
