Hi, We have some unconventional setup for parallel CSI design where analog input data is converted into to digital composite using PAL decoder and it feed to adv7180, camera sensor. Analog input => Video PAL Decoder => ADV7180 => IPU-CSI0 The PAL decoder is I2C based, tda9885 chip. We setup it up via dt bindings and the chip is detected fine. But we need to know, is this to be part of media control subdev pipeline? so-that we can configure pads, links like what we do on conventional pipeline or it should not to be part of media pipeline? Please advise for best possible way to fit this into the design. Another observation is since the IPU has more than one sink, source pads, we source or sink the other components on the pipeline but look like the same thing seems not possible with adv7180 since if has only one pad. If it has only one pad sourcing to adv7180 from tda9885 seems not possible, If I'm not mistaken. I tried to look for similar design in mainline, but I couldn't find it. is there any design similar to this in mainline? Please let us know if anyone has any suggestions on this.
