[RFC 5/7] media: uapi: Add generic serial metadata mbus formats

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add generic serial metadata mbus formats. These formats describe data
width and packing but not the content itself. The reason for specifying
such formats is that the formats as such are fairly device specific but
they are still handled by CSI-2 receiver drivers that should not be aware
of device specific formats. What makes generic metadata formats possible
is that these formats are parsed by software only, after capturing the
data to system memory.

+Generic Serial Metadata Formats
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Generic serial metadata formats are used on serial busses where the actual data
+content is more or less device specific but the data is transmitted and received
+by multiple devices that do not process the data in any way, simply writing
+it to system memory for processing in software at the end of the pipeline.
+
+The more specific variant describing the actual data is used on the internal
+source pad of the originating sub-device.
+
+"b" in an array cell signifies a byte of data, followed by the number of byte
+and finally the bit number in subscript. "p" indicates a padding bit.
