This series adds support for the Allegro DVT H.264 encoder found in the EV family of the Xilinx ZynqMP platform. The encoder is part of the ZynqMP VCU (video codec unit), which supports encoding and decoding of H.264 and H.265. I am planning to support decoding and H.265 as well in this driver. The codec engines are separate hard IP cores in the FPGA of the ZynqMP and each engine is controlled by a microcontroller (MCU). Each MCU executes code in its own memory mapped SRAM. This SRAM also contains mailboxes that the driver uses to exchange command and status messages with the MCU. Encoder and decoder share an interrupt that is triggered whenever a message is available in one of the mailboxes. Each MCU provides an interrupt status register in its own register space. I would appreciate feedback to the device tree bindings, the overall architecture of the driver and if there are any major issues that I need to address. There are several things already on my own TODO list: - The driver still contains various hard coded values and only works with a resolution of 144x144. I am working on enabling more resolutions and actually calculating the hard-coded values. - The driver also only works with the vcu-firmware release 2018.2 [0]. The 2018.3 release uses a different mailbox size, which needs to be reflected in the driver. - There is the xlnx-vcu driver for managing the clocks via the FPGA glue code. Right now, the allegro driver does not interact with the driver to configure the clocks. I ran v4l2-compliance without failures on the driver, but I think adding the test results right now only distracts from more important open issues in the driver.
