Hi All,
Here is a small set of patches to make the int3472/discrete code
work with the sensor drivers bundled with the (unfortunately out of tree)
IPU6 driver.
There are parts of the out of tree IPU6 code, like the sensor drivers,
which can be moved to the mainline and I do plan to work on this at some
point and then some of this might need to change. But for now the goal is
to make the out of tree driver work with standard mainline distro kernels
through e.g. dkms. Otherwise users need to run a patched kernel just for
a couple of small differences.
This is basically a rewrite of this patch:
https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers/blob/master/patch/int3472-support-independent-clock-and-LED-gpios-5.17%2B.patch
Wich users who want to use the IPU6 driver so far have had to manually
apply to their kernels which is quite inconvenient.
This rewrite makes 2 significant changes:
1. Don't break things on IPU3 platforms
2. Instead of extending the int3472_sensor_configs[] quirks table for each
model which needs "clken" and "pled" GPIOs, do this based on matching
the ACPI HID of the ACPI device describing the sensor.
The need for these GPIOs is a property of the specific sensor driver which
binds using this same HID, so by using this we avoid having to extend the
int3472_sensor_configs[] quirks table all the time.
This allows roling back the behavior to at least use a clk-framework
clk instead of clken GPIO on a per sensor(-driver) basis as we mainline
the sensor drivers, assuming that the drivers are switched over to the
clk framework as part of their mainlining.
A bigger question is what to do with the privacy-led GPIO on IPU3
we so far have turned the LED on/off at the same as te clock,
but at least on some IPU6 models this won't work, because they only
have a privacy-led GPIO and no clk_en GPIO (there is no sensor
clk-control at all on some models).
Ah how annoying, we hadn't come across any situations for IPU3 with a
privacy LED but no clock GPIO
I think we should maybe move all models, including IPU3 based
models over to using a normal GPIO for controlling the privacy-led
to make things consistent.
I think they probably should be represented as LED devices then, and
have the media subsytem call some framework to find associated LEDs and
cycle them at power on time in the sensor drivers. I know there's the
v4l2_flash structure at the moment, but not sure if a privacy one exists.
And likewise (eventually) completely drop the "clken" GPIO this
patch series introduces (with some sensors) and instead always model
this through the clk-framework.
Regards,
Hans
