Hi,
I am writing a driver for Toshiba TC358743 HDMI to CSI-2 bridge. The
chip has four CSI lanes. Toshiba recommends to configure the CSI
output speed for the highest resolution the CSI interface can handle
and reduce the number of CSI lanes in use if the received video has
lower resolution. The number of CSI lanes in use is also reduced
when the bridge transmits YCbCr 4:2:2 encoded video instead of
RGB888.
The plan was to use g_mbus_config for this, but it is not clear to
me what the different defines in include/media/v4l2-mediabus.h
should be used for:
/* How many lanes the client can use */
#define V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_1_LANE (1 << 0)
#define V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_2_LANE (1 << 1)
#define V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_3_LANE (1 << 2)
#define V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_4_LANE (1 << 3)
/* On which channels it can send video data */
#define V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_CHANNEL_0 (1 << 4)
#define V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_CHANNEL_1 (1 << 5)
#define V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_CHANNEL_2 (1 << 6)
#define V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_CHANNEL_3 (1 << 7)
Should I set V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_4_LANE since the device supports four
lanes, and set V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_CHANNEL_X according to the number of
lanes in use?
Channels in this case refer to CSI-2 channels, not how many lanes there are.
Can you decide how many lanes you use or is that determined by other
configuration?
This is only used in SoC camera right now. Elsewhere the number of lanes is
fixed in either platform data or device tree.
When the application set video timings or change color encoding the
driver calculates the number of CSI lanes needed and disables the rest:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
static void tc358743_set_csi(struct v4l2_subdev *sd)
{
unsigned lanes = tc358743_num_csi_lanes_needed(sd);
if (lanes < 1)
i2c_wr32(sd, CLW_CNTRL, MASK_CLW_LANEDISABLE);
if (lanes < 1)
i2c_wr32(sd, D0W_CNTRL, MASK_D0W_LANEDISABLE);
if (lanes < 2)
i2c_wr32(sd, D1W_CNTRL, MASK_D1W_LANEDISABLE);
if (lanes < 3)
i2c_wr32(sd, D2W_CNTRL, MASK_D2W_LANEDISABLE);
if (lanes < 4)
i2c_wr32(sd, D3W_CNTRL, MASK_D3W_LANEDISABLE);
