Hi Alex,

This is because VDEC and VENC are two separated IPs with their own
hardware resources and no links between both.
On future SoCs, VDEC can ship on its own, same for VENC.

I think that's what the driver is/was designed for :)

I don't  think there _has_ to be a link between variants in the same file.
For Rockchip we only had the issue that there _is_ a link (shared
resources) between encoder and decoder and they had (for that reason) to be
defined has a _single_ variant. And there is no reason you can ship decoder
and encoder seperated when you have two variants (with different
compatibles).
For Rockchip and iMX those files are even containing variants for completly
different generations / different SoCs. I had to cleanup this mess for
The i.MX8M Mini and Plus have different power domains for encoder and
decoders as well as different clocks.  Keeping them separate would
almost be necessary.
I guess there is missunderstanding: I didn't say the two STM variants
should be merged in one variant, but the two variants should be within the
same _file_, like the other platforms are doing :)

Rockchip once - and it was no fun :) Anyways: It's up to the maintainers I
guess - I just wanted to ask if I missunderstand something here.

Greetings,

Alex

Hoping that this clarify.

Best regards,
Hugues.

Hi Hugues, Hi Nicolas,

is there any specific reason I'm not understanding / seeing why this
is added in two seperate vdec* / venc* files and not a single vpu*
file? Is it only for the seperate clocks (-names) / irqs (-names) /
callbacks? Those are defined per variant and perfectly fit in a
single file holding one vdec and one venc variant.

This patchset introduces support for VDEC video hardware decoder
and VENC video hardware encoder of STMicroelectronics STM32MP25
SoC series.

This initial support implements H264 decoding, VP8 decoding and
JPEG encoding.

This has been tested on STM32MP257F-EV1 evaluation board.

===========
= history =
===========
version 5:
     - Precise that video decoding as been successfully tested up to
full HD
     - Add Nicolas Dufresne reviewed-by

version 4:
     - Fix comments from Nicolas about dropping encoder raw steps

version 3:
     - Fix remarks from Krzysztof Kozlowski:
      - drop "items", we keep simple enum in such case
      - drop second example - it is the same as the first
     - Drop unused node labels as suggested by Conor Dooley
     - Revisit min/max resolutions as suggested by Nicolas Dufresne

version 2:
     - Fix remarks from Krzysztof Kozlowski on v1:
      - single video-codec binding for both VDEC/VENC
      - get rid of "-names"
      - use of generic node name "video-codec"

version 1:
    - Initial submission
