Indeed, this is actually preventing get/set format on the intermediate
(multiplexed) stream. But it is "breaking" link validation (or
preventing it from happening maybe?), which is defaulting 'open' ...
that might be a problem we need to look at, but as we don't have a real
multiplexed stream support implementation then that's perhaps more
difficult to give a 'correct' answer.

Ok - so as long as we return -EINVAL for the MAX9286_SRC_PAD, then
v4l2_subdev_link_validate() will fail on
v4l2_subdev_link_validate_get_format() for that pad, which causes a return 0

(v4l2_subdev_link_validate defaulting to success if it can't get both pads)

We could convert this to:

/*
 * \todo: Prevent validation of the source pad, as it represents a
 * multiplexed stream, and we do not have multiplexed stream support in
 * V4L2 yet.
 */
if (format->pad == MAX9286_SRC_PAD)


Or we could call this a blocker. Which will make me sad, as I really
want to be able to have a baseline for development for this driver, but
I've been calling out for "What blockers prevent this driver from being
merged" since February so if this is it - so be it...


Sakari - is this a blocking issue for you? Or can we consider this a
topic that we (already know) needs visiting as part of V4L2 Multiplexed
stream support.

We already know of course that this driver is taking liberties due to
the lack of multiplexed stream support, and requires the receiver to
assume that each camera is on a different (consecutive?) VC.


Or perhaps - to enforce validation, we could have the get_fmt call pass
on the bus format of the first camera link ?

Thoughts anyone?
