+Routes
+------
+
+The CCS driver implements one or two :ref:`routes <subdev-routing>` in
+its source sub-device (scaler sub-device if exists for the device, otherwise
+binner) depending on whether the sensor supports embedded data. (All CCS
+compliant sensors do but the CCS driver supports preceding standards that did
+not require embedded data support, too.)
+
+The first route of the CCS source sub-device is for pixel data (internal pad
+1/stream 0 -> pad 0/stream 0) and the second one is for embedded data (internal
+pad 2/stream 0 -> pad 0/stream 1).
+
+Embedded data
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+MIPI CCS supports generation of camera sensor embedded data. The media bus code
+used for this format is :ref:`MEDIA_BUS_FMT_CCS_EMBEDDDED
+<MEDIA-BUS-FMT-CCS-EMBEDDED>`.
+
+The bit depth of the CCS pixel data affects how the sensor will output the
+embedded data, adding padding to align with CSI-2 bus :ref:`Data units
+<media-glossary-data-unit>` for that particular bit depth. This is indicated by
+the generic metadata format on the sensor's source sub-device's source pad.
+
+Embedded data for bit depths greater than or equal to 16 may support more dense
+packing or legacy single metadata byte per data unit, or both of these,
+depending on the device. The supported embedded data formats can be enumerated
+and configured on stream 1 of the source pad (1) of the CCS source sub-device.
