Hi, Marek!

Good to hear from you! And it's so nice you're testing the Samsung Exynos
drivers! :-)

Matching on device fwnode handles is deprecated in favour of endpoint
fwnode handles. Switch the __v4l2_async_nf_add_fwnode_remote() function
to use the latter. The match code handles backward compatibility by
falling by to the device fwnode handle, so this shouldn't introduce any
regression.

I love the last sentence of the patch description. :)

Unfortunately, recently I found that this patch breaks Exynos4 IS (FIMC)
driver operation on Trats2 board (exynos4412-trats2.dts). After merging
this patch I see the following errors related to the camera sensors:

[   16.038705] S5C73M3: S5C73M3 SPI probed successfully
[   16.097399] S5C73M3: Sensor type: CML0801-M017, FW version: GDFD01
[   16.106842] S5C73M3 0-003c: Consider updating driver S5C73M3 to match
on endpoints
[   16.298323] S5C73M3: probe of 0-003c failed with error -22
[   16.343173] S5K6A3 15-0010: Consider updating driver S5K6A3 to match

[   16.434968] S5K6A3: probe of 15-0010 failed with error -22
Have you checked what exactly caused the probe to fail? Laurent's patch
changes how matching works but if that fails, the result should be a bunch
of waiting async sub-devices and notifier(s), not a failure on probe.


Might be some other effects too...I can't test it but in subdev_notifier_bound() in drivers/media/platform/samsung/exynos4-is/media-dev.c there's the following check:


    /* Find platform data for this sensor subdev */
    for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(fmd->sensor); i++)
        if (fmd->sensor[i].asd &&
            fmd->sensor[i].asd->match.fwnode ==
            of_fwnode_handle(subdev->dev->of_node))
            si = &fmd->sensor[i];

    if (si == NULL)
        return -EINVAL;


And I think following that patch of Laurent's asd->match.fwnode will never be the dev->of_node anymore, because it's now the endpoint that's assigned as asd->match.fwnode rather than that of the device. That will return -EINVAL for the notifier's .bound() callback...I'm not sure if that would cause the whole probe to fail, but thought it might be worth mentioning :)


I'm a bit puzzled, because I don't see anything related to endpoint
matching in the sensor drivers. Instead I only found that
v4l2_async_nf_add_fwnode_remote() function (which is modified by this
patch) is called from the
drivers/media/platform/samsung/exynos4-is/media-dev.c code. Do you have
any idea what is broken after this change? Could you help fixing this issue?
You can assign the endpoint node to subdev->fwnode instead of the device
fwnode. No regular sensor driver appears to be doing that though.
