Hello,

This patch series cleans up and improves the vimc driver, with the end
goal of converting it to the V4L2 subdev active state API. The goal of
this exercise is to make the API used by a virtual test driver, to
increase test coverage.

The series starts with 4 random cleanups, to avoid unnecessary
iterations (1/9), constify structures (2/9 and 3/9) and rename a
weirdly-named enum (4/9). Patch 5/9 then centralizes the subdev
internal_ops initialization to prepare for the switch to the active
state API. The remaining patches (6/9 to 9/9) convert the vimc entities
to the new API one by one.

The result has been tested using the libcamera unit tests, which make
extensive use of the vimc driver, as well as with v4l2-compliance. The
latter reports 4 errors, but they occur already with the latest stage
master branch.

Any comment about this patch series ? Shuah, do you plan to give it a
look ? If you don't have much time for vimc these days that's OK, I can
work with Kieran to get the patches reviewed.


Sorry for the delay. I will take a look and apply them for the next
release.

On a related note, I would like to modify the MC pipeline of the vimc
driver to make it look more like a real ISP. This would help with unit
testing and compliance testing in libcamera. I briefly discussed this
with Hans on IRC who had no objection. If anyone has any issue or
concern with this plan, I would appreciate if you could let me know.


I am good with the plan.

thanks,
-- Shuah
