OK, thanks a lot for the clarification. I tested this patch on Exynos4x12 and I could see twice as many interrupts from MIPI-CSIS as there was captured frames from the sensor. Certainly we don't want to see these interrupts when they are not needed. I have been thinking of some interface that the MIPI-CSIS subdev would provide to the media driver, so it can enable the interrupts when needed. I suppose a private subdev ioctl might be good for that. But first I think there is e.g. a subdev flag needed so a subdev driver can decide that it doesn't want to have its non-standard ioctls called from user space. I'll see if I can address those issues. >> It would be good to know what these bits are for. And how >> enabling the interrupts actually help without modifying the >> interrupt handler ?

I was also wondering how the FIMC-IS receives Embedded Data from the MIPI CSIS IP, which is sent by an image sensor. Presumably FIMC-IS can memory map the Embedded Data buffer at the MIPI CSIS internal memory, and then it reads from there. It's just a guess though.
