Hi Josh,

Thanks for your patches!

To support async probe for ov2640, we need remove the code to get 'mclk'
in ov2640_probe() function. oterwise, if soc_camera host is not probed
in the moment, then we will fail to get 'mclk' and quit the ov2640_probe()
function.

So in this patch, we move such 'mclk' getting code to ov2640_s_power()
function. That make ov2640 survive, as we can pass a NULL (priv-clk) to
soc_camera_set_power() function.

And if soc_camera host is probed, the when ov2640_s_power() is called,
then we can get the 'mclk' and that make us enable/disable soc_camera
host's clock as well.

The first thing the above ov2640_video_probe() function will do is call
ov2640_s_power(), which will request the clock. So, by moving requesting
the clock from ov2640_probe() to ov2640_s_power() doesn't change how
probing will be performed, am I right?
yes, you are right. In this patch, the "mclk" will requested by ov2640_s_power().

The reason why I put the getting "mclk" code from ov2640_probe() to ov2640_s_power() is : as the "mclk" here is camera host's peripheral clock. That means ov2640 still can be probed properly (read ov2640 id) even no "mclk". So when I move this code to ov2640_s_power(), otherwise the ov2640_probe() will be failed or DEFER_PROBE.

Is this true for all camera host? If it's not true, then I think use -EPROBE_DEFER would be a proper way.


Or are there any other patched,
that change that, that I'm overseeing?

If I'm right, then I would propose an approach, already used in other
drivers instead of this one: return -EPROBE_DEFER if the clock isn't
available during probing. See ef6672ea35b5bb64ab42e18c1a1ffc717c31588a for
an example. Or did I misunderstand anything?
Actually months ago I already done a version of ov2640 patch which use -EPROBE_DEFER way.

But now I think the ov2640 can be probed correctly without "mclk", so it is no need to return -EPROBE_DEFER. And the v4l2 asyn API can handle the synchronization of host. So I prefer to use this way.
What do you think about this?

Josh Wu
