Tegra210 contains VI controller for video input capture from MIPI
CSI camera sensors and also supports built-in test pattern generator.

CSI ports can be one-to-one mapped to VI channels for capturing from
an external sensor or from built-in test pattern generator.

This patch adds support for VI and CSI and enables them in Tegra210
device tree.

Can this be a child of the vi node? Looking at the register ranges it
seems like these are actually a single IP block. If they have separate
blocks with clearly separate functionality, then it makes sense to have
CSI be a child node of VI, though it may also be okay to merge both and
have a single node with the driver doing all of the differentiation
between what's VI and what's CSI.

Looking at later chips, the split between VI and CSI is more explicit,
so having the split in DT for Tegra210 may make sense for consistency.

I know we've discussed this before, but for some reason I keep coming
back to this. I'll go through the other patches to see if I can get a
clearer picture of how this could all work together.

Thierry
We can keep it separate as we discussed.

But as Tegra186 onwards, CSI is separate device to be all cosistent I kept
CSI as separate node for Tegra210 as well.
  From our discussion, my understanding was that CSI would be a separate
device, but it would still be a subdevice of VI. The address offset of
the CSI registers not being aligned to a power of two is a strong
indication that this is really all part of the same block.
Yes our earlier discussion is to have CSI as subdevice.

Later looking into T186 and later NVCSI is totally separate so it will be
separate device and to have driver common moved Tegra210 CSI also as
separate device instead of having it as subdevice of VI.

Earlier when we discussed at that time I am using TPG also from device
graphs but not moved to hard media links inside driver for TPG.

For this we need CSI to be available prior to VI.
Why is that? Does creating the hard media links need access to a struct
device? What if we created that device in the VI driver without any
reliance on DT? Shouldn't that also work? I have a hard time imagining
that there aren't other devices like this where we don't necessarily
have separate devices for these links.
Yes we need CSI structure for hard link TPG also as all csi channel list is part of CSI device.

We can create CSI channel subdevices within VI without using CSI device from a separate CSI driver probe for Tegra210 and make all subdev related ops implementations as global so they can be used from VI driver for Tegra210 and can also be used for Tegra186 and later in separate CSI driver.

During creating media links in VI driver for TPG, for T210 we can use local CSI device structure and for T186+ we can use CSI device structure created during CSI probe.

Sorry, I didn't understood what you meant by separate devices for these link.

We only have Tegra CSI linked to Tegra VI for TPG/Real sensor.

If we add CSI as subdevice to VI, CSI will not be available by the time
VI init happens.
The CSI subdevice should be registered as part of the VI driver's probe,
right? That's typically where you'd call of_platform_populate(). Could
we not set up the hard media links in the ->init() callbacks for the
host1x clients? Those are called after all of the devices have been
probed, so the CSI device should be available at that time.

Currently host1x subdevices listed has CSI before VI and CSI init happens
earlier so by the time VI init happens CSI is available to do media links
b/w VI video entity and CSI subdevice entity.
Okay, I understand how this would be a convenient solution. However, the
device tree is a hardware description, so we need to ignore what we know
about the operating system infrastructure that we want to use when
writing the device tree bindings (and the device tree content) in order
to make sure the same binding will work on a different operating system
which may have a completely different infrastructure (or none at all).

Also having CSI as separate subdevice (not as subdevice to VI) for T210 will
be consistent with T186 and later.
Again, I see how that's convenient. But the main difference between
Tegra210 and Tegra186 is that on the former, the CSI is merged with VI,
whereas on the latter the CSI is a completely separate hardware block.

Since device tree describes the hardware, that difference should be
apparent in the device tree. I initially thought as well that it would
be advantageous if both had the same representation, but I do realize
now that this has a significant impact on the device tree, and it
violates the basic principles we base device tree binding design on.

Thierry

I just thought of driver implementation being common b/w T210 and T186+ by having CSI as separate device node rather than as child node to VI to avoid CSI structure handling within VI for T210 only.

Will update DT and driver to have CSI as child node of VI for T210.
