Isn't it possible to have several clients connected to different mux
inputs and switch between them at run-time? Even if only one of them can
be active at any time? That's why I've introduced link nodes in my RFC to
specify exactly which pads are connected.
Yes, of course it is. For such a configuration there would be multiple
'sensor' nodes and each of them would contain a 'samsung,camif-mux-id'
determining camera port the corresponding sensor/encoder is wired to.
Then switching between the sensors would be possible by setting up
a proper media link (or just through VIDIOC_S_INPUT ioctl, if that's
feasible) and then writing the mux input index and the camera port
type values to the control registers (in this specific case ports A,B
(index 0, 1) are parallel and port C (index 0) is a serial port).
Thus using only input index wouldn't be sufficient to do the sensors
switch over.
