The Video Engine (VE) embedded in the Aspeed AST2400 and AST2500 SOCs
can capture and compress video data from digital or analog sources. With
the Aspeed chip acting as a service processor, the Video Engine can
capture the host processor graphics output.

This series adds a V4L2 driver for the VE, providing the usual V4L2 streaming
interface by way of videobuf2. Each frame, the driver triggers the hardware to
capture the host graphics output and compress it to JPEG format.
I reviewed the driver, and there is still confusion about active timings and
detected timings. You are really close, but it is still not right.

The timings returned by G_DV_TIMINGS should never change, unless by calling
S_DV_TIMINGS. The format returned by G_FMT should never change, unless by
calling S_DV_TIMINGS (which implicitly changes the format) or S_FMT.

Timings changes from the video or calling QUERY_DV_TIMINGS should have NO
effect on the timings/format returned by G_DV_TIMINGS/G_FMT.

Obviously, if the video timings change, then streaming will halt and an event
is issued so userspace can take action.

Thanks, I have made some changes for v6.

That's weird. It's not clear to me why this fails.

I updated v4l2-compliance, as this test was a bit too strict.

	test VIDIOC_REQBUFS/CREATE_BUFS/QUERYBUF: FAIL
	test VIDIOC_EXPBUF: OK (Not Supported)

Test input 0:

You need to add:

	.vidioc_expbuf = vb2_ioctl_expbuf,

to aspeed_video_ioctl_ops.

	test DMABUF: FAIL

Total: 48, Succeeded: 45, Failed: 3, Warnings: 0

The apparent rate of change to the v4l2/vb2 API makes it difficult to pass
these tests. None of the failing tests even ran last time I submitted my
series. And V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_DMABUF is undefined in 4.19.
When developing new drivers you should use the master branch of
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/

Our 4.18 tree has quite a few chip-specific patches that I need that are not upstreamed yet, so it's not possible for me to use that.

Thanks,
Eddie


The v4l-utils repo is kept in sync with the latest code from that master branch.

Changes since v4:
  - Set real min and max resolution in enum_dv_timings
  - Add check for vb2_is_busy before settings the timings
  - Set max frame rate to the actual max rather than max + 1
  - Correct the input status to 0.
  - Rework resolution change to only set the relevant h/w regs during startup or
    when set_timings is called.

Changes since v3:
  - Switch update reg function to use u32 clear rather than unsigned long mask
  - Add timing information from host VGA signal
  - Fix binding documentation mispelling
  - Fix upper case hex values
  - Add wait_prepare and wait_finish
  - Set buffer state to queued (rather than error) if streaming fails to start
  - Switch engine busy print statement to error
  - Removed a couple unecessary type assignments in v4l2 ioctls
  - Added query_dv_timings, fixed get_dv_timings
  - Corrected source change event to fire if and only if size actually changes
  - Locked open and release

Changes since v2:
  - Switch to streaming interface. This involved a lot of changes.
  - Rework memory allocation due to using videobuf2 buffers, but also only
    allocate the necessary size of source buffer rather than the max size

Changes since v1:
  - Removed le32_to_cpu calls for JPEG header data
  - Reworked v4l2 ioctls to be compliant.
  - Added JPEG controls
  - Updated devicetree docs according to Rob's suggestions.
  - Added myself to MAINTAINERS
