I'm not sure yet how all this should be handled exactly, but I'm pretty sure I don't want the CSI2 receiver drivers to handle all the vendor-specific blob- like formats explicitly. For instance your sensor could be used with the OMAP3 ISP, and I don't want to add support for V4L2_MBUS_FMT_VYUY_JPEG_I1_1X8 to the OMAP3 ISP CSI2 driver. We need a way for CSI2 receiver drivers to map blob formats automatically. Enumeration also needs to be handled, which makes the problem even more complex. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
