Hi Wentong,

Thanks for the patchset.

The more I learn about this system, the more I'm inclined to think this
functionality should be exposed as a V4L2 sub-device. IVSC doesn't really
do anything to the data (as long as it directs it towards the CSI-2
receiver in the SoC), but it is definitely part of the image pipeline.

I suppose the intended use cases assume a single instance of IVSC (as well
as MEI) but there can, and often are, be multiple camera sensors in the
system. The decision whether to request pass-through from IVCS can't be
done in the camera sensor driver, and should not be visible to the camera
sensor driver. Exposing IVSC as a V4L2 sub-device makes this trivial to
address, as the IVSC driver's V4L2 sub-device video s_stream() operation
gets called before streaming is started.

The information whether IVSC is found between the camera sensor and the
host's CSI-2 receiver (IPU in this case) should come from system firmware
and accessed most probably by what is called cio2-bridge at the moment.

The privacy status can be a V4L2 control.

Also cc Hans.
