There are a lot more to be done in order to make it ready for libcamera
(if ever).
See, libcamera assumes that the device exports its internal pipelines
via the media controller. The atomisp code setups such pipelines
internally, exposing a "normal" [1] V4L2 interface.
[1] Well, it misses several V4L2 ioctl implementations that currently
causes generic applications to fail, and mis-implement others,
but the idea behind the driver is to fully control the driver via
/dev/video? nodes, without requiring the media controller API.
Converting atomisp into a media-controller driver will require a
major rework. I suspect that it is a lot easier to make it work with
normal V4L2 applications by fixing the ioctl implementation than
to port it to MC.
Yet, in order to be able to move it from staging, we'll need to convert
it into an MC-controlled driver.
What I'm saying is that, IMHO, we should:
1. Fix the ioctls in order to allow a normal app to use it. I'm
already doing some work on this sense. We should ensure that the
driver will pass v4l2-compliance tests on this step;
2. remove VIDEO_ATOMISP_ISP2401, making the driver to auto-detect the
register address differences between ISP2400 and ISP2401;
3. Cleanup the driver code, removing the abstraction layers inside it;
4. Migrate the sensor drivers out of staging (or re-using existing
drivers);
5. Remove the logic which sets up pipelines inside it, moving it to
libcamera and implement MC support;
6. Move it out of staging.
This is easily said than done, as steps 2-6 are very complex and will
require lots of work. Also, both ISP2400 and 2401 should be tested
while doing some of those major reworks, in order to avoid breakages.
Btw, v4l2grab app (at v4l-utils) already works. This is a very simple
app, written to allow stream testing. It doesn't do anything fancy,
like trying to enumerate the formats, and it needs to be set to a
resolution lower than the one announced by the sensor, probably due
to some bug at the COPY pipeline settings at atomisp driver.
qv4l2, for instance, causes a driver OOPS when it calls G/S_PRIORITY
ioctls.
