I think it's obvious that this patch set should be split into two: first, the changes to IPU core driver submitted to drm-next, and the capture driver to media-tree. Or, do you prefer I submit the IPU core patches to your own pengutronix git tree, and we can correspond on one of your internal mailing lists? I can then leave it to you to push those changes to drm-next. I agree with most of your feedback, and most is specific to the IPU core changes. We can discuss those in detail elsewhere, but just in summary here, some of your comments seem to conflict: 1. Regarding the input muxes to the CSI and IC, Philipp you acked those functions but would like to see these muxes as v4l2 subdevs and configured in the DT, but Sascha, you had a comment that this should be a job for mediactrl. 2. Philipp, you would like to see CSI, IC, and SMFC units moved out of IPU core and become v4l2 subdevs. I agree with that, but drm-next has ipu-smfc as part of IPU core, and SMFC is most definitely v4l2 capture specific.
