Merge tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media
Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon); - The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select drivers and their dependencies; - The testing drivers now has a separate directory; - added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP; - The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with 4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and making it in good shape. - Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs; - Added an ov2740 image sensor driver; - The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog standards; - Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera is located at the device; - VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices; - Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups. * tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (503 commits) media: Documentation: media: Refer to mbus format documentation from CSI-2 docs media: s5k5baf: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array media: i2c: imx219: Drop <linux/clk-provider.h> and <linux/clkdev.h> media: i2c: Add ov2740 image sensor driver media: ov8856: Implement sensor module revision identification media: ov8856: Add devicetree support media: dt-bindings: ov8856: Document YAML bindings media: dvb-usb: Add Cinergy S2 PCIe Dual Port support media: dvbdev: Fix tuner->demod media controller link media: dt-bindings: phy: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: move rockchip dphy rx0 bindings out of staging media: staging: dt-bindings: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: remove non-used reg property media: atomisp: unify the version for isp2401 a0 and b0 versions media: atomisp: update TODO with the current data media: atomisp: adjust some code at sh_css that could be broken media: atomisp: don't produce errs for ignored IRQs media: atomisp: print IRQ when debugging media: atomisp: isp_mmu: don't use kmem_cache media: atomisp: add a notice about possible leak resources media: atomisp: disable the dynamic and reserved pools media: atomisp: turn on camera before setting it ...

+i.MX7 Video Capture Driver
+==========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The i.MX7 contrary to the i.MX5/6 family does not contain an Image Processing
+Unit (IPU); because of that the capabilities to perform operations or
+manipulation of the capture frames are less feature rich.
+
+For image capture the i.MX7 has three units:
+- CMOS Sensor Interface (CSI)
+- Video Multiplexer
+- MIPI CSI-2 Receiver
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ MIPI Camera Input ---> MIPI CSI-2 --- > |\
+ | \
+ | \
+ | M |
+ | U | ------> CSI ---> Capture
+ | X |
+ | /
+ Parallel Camera Input ----------------> | /
+ |/
+
+For additional information, please refer to the latest versions of the i.MX7
+reference manual [#f1]_.
+
+Entities
+--------
+
+imx7-mipi-csi2
+--------------
+
+This is the MIPI CSI-2 receiver entity. It has one sink pad to receive the pixel
+data from MIPI CSI-2 camera sensor. It has one source pad, corresponding to the
+virtual channel 0. This module is compliant to previous version of Samsung
+D-phy, and supports two D-PHY Rx Data lanes.
+
+csi-mux
+-------
+
+This is the video multiplexer. It has two sink pads to select from either camera
+sensor with a parallel interface or from MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 0. It has
+a single source pad that routes to the CSI.
+
+csi
+---
+
+The CSI enables the chip to connect directly to external CMOS image sensor. CSI
+can interface directly with Parallel and MIPI CSI-2 buses. It has 256 x 64 FIFO
+to store received image pixel data and embedded DMA controllers to transfer data
+from the FIFO through AHB bus.
+
+This entity has one sink pad that receives from the csi-mux entity and a single
+source pad that routes video frames directly to memory buffers. This pad is
+routed to a capture device node.
+
+Usage Notes
+-----------
+
+To aid in configuration and for backward compatibility with V4L2 applications
+that access controls only from video device nodes, the capture device interfaces
+inherit controls from the active entities in the current pipeline, so controls
+can be accessed either directly from the subdev or from the active capture
+device interface. For example, the sensor controls are available either from the
+sensor subdevs or from the active capture device.
+
+Warp7 with OV2680
+-----------------
+
+On this platform an OV2680 MIPI CSI-2 module is connected to the internal MIPI
+CSI-2 receiver. The following example configures a video capture pipeline with
+an output of 800x600, and BGGR 10 bit bayer format:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # Setup links
+ media-ctl -l "'ov2680 1-0036':0 -> 'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'imx7-mipi-csis.0':1 -> 'csi-mux':1[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'csi-mux':2 -> 'csi':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'csi':1 -> 'csi capture':0[1]"
+
+ # Configure pads for pipeline
+ media-ctl -V "'ov2680 1-0036':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'csi-mux':1 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'csi-mux':2 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'csi':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
+
+After this streaming can start. The v4l2-ctl tool can be used to select any of
+the resolutions supported by the sensor.
