mt9m111/mt9m131: kernel 3.8 issues.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I am testing mt9m131 sensor (which is supported in mt9m111.c) in
mainline kernel 3.8 with my Visstrim M10, which is an i.MX27 board.

Since both mx2_camera.c and mt9m111.c are soc_camera drivers making it
work was quite straightforward. However, I've found several issues
regarding mt9m111.c:

1. mt9m111 probe is broken. It will give an oops since it tries to use
a context before it's been assigned.
2. mt9m111 auto exposure control is broken too (see the patch below).
3. After I've fixed 1 and 2 the colours in the pictures I grab are
dull and not vibrant, green is very dark and red seems like pink, blue
and yellow look fine though. I have both auto exposure and auto white
balance enabled.

I can see in the list that you have tried this sensor before. Have you
also noticed these problems (specially 3)?

This patch is just to provide a quick fix for points 1 and 2 just in
case you feel like testing this in kernel 3.8. If you consider these
fix are valid I'll send a proper patch later:
