8 bpp mode was removed in commit 38c223081815 ("media: ov5647:
Remove 640x480 SBGGR8 mode") as it hangs the sensor and no streaming
was possible.
This series upports a few patches from Renesas R-Car 4.1.0 BSP which use
8 bpp modes for ADAS applications.
While at it, a few patches from the RPi BSP have been upported as well, as the
series has been tested on a Pi.
As reported in the commit message of 3/5, a register quirk allows to capture
8bpp modes with no hangs:
Quoting:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comparing the register table for the 10 bit full-size mode and the
register table for the there introduced 8 bit full size mode, the main
difference is in the value of register 0x3034, documented as:
0x3034: Bit[7]: Not used
Bit[6:4]: pll_charge_pump
Bit[3:0]: mipi_bit_mode
0000: 8 bit mode
0001: 10 bit mode
Others: Reserved to future use
However the value currently assigned to the register in all 10 bits
modes contradicts the register description (0x3034=0x1a) suggesting that
the documentation is possibly wrong and the lower and higher 4 bits are
actually swapped.
In facts, the 8 bits mode as added in the BSP commit assigns to register
0x3034 the value 0x08, causing the sensor to hang.
This patch uses for the register the same value as the 10 bits mode with
BIT(4) cleared, resulting in correct streaming operations with the
expected 15 FPS frame rate.

Captured 10 frames in 0.631383 seconds (15.838237 fps, 79806470.803431 B/s).
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As reported in the same commit messages, frames as captured from the Pi are
completely black, suggesting that some other setting is off.
However the sensor does not hang anymore and it is worth re-enabling the modes
as a base for further debugging.
Thanks
