+================================
+Starfive Camera Subsystem driver
+================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This file documents the driver for the Starfive Camera Subsystem found on
+Starfive JH7110 SoC. The driver is located under drivers/staging/media/starfive/
+camss.
+
+The driver implements V4L2, Media controller and v4l2_subdev interfaces. Camera
+sensor using V4L2 subdev interface in the kernel is supported.
+
+The driver has been successfully used on the Gstreamer 1.18.5 with v4l2src
+plugin.
+
+
+Starfive Camera Subsystem hardware
+----------------------------------
+
+The Starfive Camera Subsystem hardware consists of::
+
+ |\ +---------------+ +-----------+
+ +----------+ | \ | | | |
+ | | | | | | | |
+ | MIPI |----->| |----->| ISP |----->| |
+ | | | | | | | |
+ +----------+ | | | | | Memory |
+ |MUX| +---------------+ | Interface |
+ +----------+ | | | |
+ | | | |---------------------------->| |
+ | Parallel |----->| | | |
+ | | | | | |
+ +----------+ | / | |
+ |/ +-----------+
+
+- MIPI: The MIPI interface, receiving data from a MIPI CSI-2 camera sensor.
+
+- Parallel: The parallel interface, receiving data from a parallel sensor.
+
+- ISP: The ISP, processing raw Bayer data from an image sensor and producing
+ YUV frames.
+
+
+Topology
+--------
+
+The media controller pipeline graph is as follows:
+
+.. _starfive_camss_graph:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: starfive_camss_graph.dot
+ :alt: starfive_camss_graph.dot
+ :align: center
+
+The driver has 2 video devices:
+
+- capture_raw: The capture device, capturing image data directly from a sensor.
+- capture_yuv: The capture device, capturing YUV frame data processed by the
+ ISP module
+
+The driver has 3 subdevices:
+
+- stf_isp: is responsible for all the isp operations, outputs YUV frames.
+- cdns_csi2rx: a CSI-2 bridge supporting up to 4 CSI lanes in input, and 4
+ different pixel streams in output.
+- imx219: an image sensor, image data is sent through MIPI CSI-2.
