+i.MX Video Capture Driver
+=========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The Freescale i.MX5/6 contains an Image Processing Unit (IPU), which
+handles the flow of image frames to and from capture devices and
+display devices.
+
+For image capture, the IPU contains the following internal subunits:
+
+- Image DMA Controller (IDMAC)
+- Camera Serial Interface (CSI)
+- Image Converter (IC)
+- Sensor Multi-FIFO Controller (SMFC)
+- Image Rotator (IRT)
+- Video De-Interlacing or Combining Block (VDIC)
+
+The IDMAC is the DMA controller for transfer of image frames to and from
+memory. Various dedicated DMA channels exist for both video capture and
+display paths. During transfer, the IDMAC is also capable of vertical
+image flip, 8x8 block transfer (see IRT description), pixel component
+re-ordering (for example UYVY to YUYV) within the same colorspace, and
+even packed <--> planar conversion. It can also perform a simple
+de-interlacing by interleaving even and odd lines during transfer
+(without motion compensation which requires the VDIC).
+
+The CSI is the backend capture unit that interfaces directly with
+camera sensors over Parallel, BT.656/1120, and MIPI CSI-2 busses.
+
+The IC handles color-space conversion, resizing (downscaling and
+upscaling), horizontal flip, and 90/270 degree rotation operations.
+
+There are three independent "tasks" within the IC that can carry out
+conversions concurrently: pre-process encoding, pre-process viewfinder,
+and post-processing. Within each task, conversions are split into three
+sections: downsizing section, main section (upsizing, flip, colorspace
+conversion, and graphics plane combining), and rotation section.
+
+The IPU time-shares the IC task operations. The time-slice granularity
+is one burst of eight pixels in the downsizing section, one image line
+in the main processing section, one image frame in the rotation section.
+
+The SMFC is composed of four independent FIFOs that each can transfer
+captured frames from sensors directly to memory concurrently via four
+IDMAC channels.
+
+The IRT carries out 90 and 270 degree image rotation operations. The
+rotation operation is carried out on 8x8 pixel blocks at a time. This
+operation is supported by the IDMAC which handles the 8x8 block transfer
+along with block reordering, in coordination with vertical flip.
+
+The VDIC handles the conversion of interlaced video to progressive, with
+support for different motion compensation modes (low, medium, and high
+motion). The deinterlaced output frames from the VDIC can be sent to the
+IC pre-process viewfinder task for further conversions. The VDIC also
+contains a Combiner that combines two image planes, with alpha blending
+and color keying.
+
+In addition to the IPU internal subunits, there are also two units
+outside the IPU that are also involved in video capture on i.MX:
+
+- MIPI CSI-2 Receiver for camera sensors with the MIPI CSI-2 bus
+ interface. This is a Synopsys DesignWare core.
+- Two video multiplexers for selecting among multiple sensor inputs
+ to send to a CSI.
+
+For more info, refer to the latest versions of the i.MX5/6 reference
+manuals [#f1]_ and [#f2]_.
+
+
+Features
+--------
+
+Some of the features of this driver include:
+
+- Many different pipelines can be configured via media controller API,
+ that correspond to the hardware video capture pipelines supported in
+ the i.MX.
+
+- Supports parallel, BT.565, and MIPI CSI-2 interfaces.
+
+- Concurrent independent streams, by configuring pipelines to multiple
+ video capture interfaces using independent entities.
+
+- Scaling, color-space conversion, horizontal and vertical flip, and
+ image rotation via IC task subdevs.
+
+- Many pixel formats supported (RGB, packed and planar YUV, partial
+ planar YUV).
+
+- The VDIC subdev supports motion compensated de-interlacing, with three
+ motion compensation modes: low, medium, and high motion. Pipelines are
+ defined that allow sending frames to the VDIC subdev directly from the
+ CSI. There is also support in the future for sending frames to the
+ VDIC from memory buffers via a output/mem2mem devices.
+
+- Includes a Frame Interval Monitor (FIM) that can correct vertical sync
+ problems with the ADV718x video decoders.
+
+
+Entities
+--------
+
+imx6-mipi-csi2
+--------------
+
+This is the MIPI CSI-2 receiver entity. It has one sink pad to receive
+the MIPI CSI-2 stream (usually from a MIPI CSI-2 camera sensor). It has
+four source pads, corresponding to the four MIPI CSI-2 demuxed virtual
+channel outputs. Multpiple source pads can be enabled to independently
+stream from multiple virtual channels.
+
+This entity actually consists of two sub-blocks. One is the MIPI CSI-2
+core. This is a Synopsys Designware MIPI CSI-2 core. The other sub-block
+is a "CSI-2 to IPU gasket". The gasket acts as a demultiplexer of the
+four virtual channels streams, providing four separate parallel buses
+containing each virtual channel that are routed to CSIs or video
+multiplexers as described below.
+
+On i.MX6 solo/dual-lite, all four virtual channel buses are routed to
+two video multiplexers. Both CSI0 and CSI1 can receive any virtual
+channel, as selected by the video multiplexers.
+
+On i.MX6 Quad, virtual channel 0 is routed to IPU1-CSI0 (after selected
+by a video mux), virtual channels 1 and 2 are hard-wired to IPU1-CSI1
+and IPU2-CSI0, respectively, and virtual channel 3 is routed to
+IPU2-CSI1 (again selected by a video mux).
+
+ipuX_csiY_mux
+-------------
+
+These are the video multiplexers. They have two or more sink pads to
+select from either camera sensors with a parallel interface, or from
+MIPI CSI-2 virtual channels from imx6-mipi-csi2 entity. They have a
+single source pad that routes to a CSI (ipuX_csiY entities).
+
+On i.MX6 solo/dual-lite, there are two video mux entities. One sits
+in front of IPU1-CSI0 to select between a parallel sensor and any of
+the four MIPI CSI-2 virtual channels (a total of five sink pads). The
+other mux sits in front of IPU1-CSI1, and again has five sink pads to
+select between a parallel sensor and any of the four MIPI CSI-2 virtual
+channels.
+
+On i.MX6 Quad, there are two video mux entities. One sits in front of
+IPU1-CSI0 to select between a parallel sensor and MIPI CSI-2 virtual
+channel 0 (two sink pads). The other mux sits in front of IPU2-CSI1 to
+select between a parallel sensor and MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 3 (two
+sink pads).
+
+ipuX_csiY
+---------
+
+These are the CSI entities. They have a single sink pad receiving from
+either a video mux or from a MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel as described
+above.
+
+This entity has two source pads. The first source pad can link directly
+to the ipuX_vdic entity or the ipuX_ic_prp entity, using hardware links
+that require no IDMAC memory buffer transfer.
+
+When the direct source pad is routed to the ipuX_ic_prp entity, frames
+from the CSI can be processed by one or both of the IC pre-processing
+tasks.
+
+When the direct source pad is routed to the ipuX_vdic entity, the VDIC
+will carry out motion-compensated de-interlace using "high motion" mode
+(see description of ipuX_vdic entity).
+
+The second source pad sends video frames directly to memory buffers
+via the SMFC and an IDMAC channel, bypassing IC pre-processing. This
+source pad is routed to a capture device node, with a node name of the
+format "ipuX_csiY capture".
+
+Note that since the IDMAC source pad makes use of an IDMAC channel, it
+can do pixel reordering within the same colorspace. For example, the
+sink pad can take UYVY2X8, but the IDMAC source pad can output YUYV2X8.
+If the sink pad is receiving YUV, the output at the capture device can
+also be converted to a planar YUV format such as YUV420.
+
+It will also perform simple de-interlace without motion compensation,
+which is activated if the sink pad's field type is an interlaced type,
+and the IDMAC source pad field type is set to none.
+
+This subdev can generate the following event when enabling the second
+IDMAC source pad:
+
+- V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR
+
+The user application can subscribe to this event from the ipuX_csiY
+subdev node. This event is generated by the Frame Interval Monitor
+(see below for more on the FIM).
+
+Cropping in ipuX_csiY
+---------------------
+
+The CSI supports cropping the incoming raw sensor frames. This is
+implemented in the ipuX_csiY entities at the sink pad, using the
+crop selection subdev API.
+
+The CSI also supports fixed divide-by-two downscaling indepently in
+width and height. This is implemented in the ipuX_csiY entities at
+the sink pad, using the compose selection subdev API.
+
+The output rectangle at the ipuX_csiY source pad is the same as
+the compose rectangle at the sink pad. So the source pad rectangle
+cannot be negotiated, it must be set using the compose selection
+API at sink pad (if /2 downscale is desired, otherwise source pad
+rectangle is equal to incoming rectangle).
+
+To give an example of crop and /2 downscale, this will crop a
+1280x960 input frame to 640x480, and then /2 downscale in both
+dimensions to 320x240 (assumes ipu1_csi0 is linked to ipu1_csi0_mux):
+
+media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/1280x960]"
+media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':0[crop:(0,0)/640x480]"
+media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':0[compose:(0,0)/320x240]"
+
+Frame Skipping in ipuX_csiY
+---------------------------
+
+The CSI supports frame rate decimation, via frame skipping. Frame
+rate decimation is specified by setting the frame intervals at
+sink and source pads. The ipuX_csiY entity then applies the best
+frame skip setting to the CSI to achieve the desired frame rate
+at the source pad.
+
+The following example reduces an assumed incoming 60 Hz frame
+rate by half at the IDMAC output source pad:
+
+media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':0[fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480@1/60]"
+media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480@1/30]"
+
+Frame Interval Monitor in ipuX_csiY
+-----------------------------------
+
+The adv718x decoders can occasionally send corrupt fields during
+NTSC/PAL signal re-sync (too little or too many video lines). When
+this happens, the IPU triggers a mechanism to re-establish vertical
+sync by adding 1 dummy line every frame, which causes a rolling effect
+from image to image, and can last a long time before a stable image is
+recovered. Or sometimes the mechanism doesn't work at all, causing a
+permanent split image (one frame contains lines from two consecutive
+captured images).
+
+From experiment it was found that during image rolling, the frame
+intervals (elapsed time between two EOF's) drop below the nominal
+value for the current standard, by about one frame time (60 usec),
+and remain at that value until rolling stops.
+
+While the reason for this observation isn't known (the IPU dummy
+line mechanism should show an increase in the intervals by 1 line
+time every frame, not a fixed value), we can use it to detect the
+corrupt fields using a frame interval monitor. If the FIM detects a
+bad frame interval, the ipuX_csiY subdev will send the event
+V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR. Userland can register with
+the FIM event notification on the ipuX_csiY subdev device node.
+Userland can issue a streaming restart when this event is received
+to correct the rolling/split image.
+
+The ipuX_csiY subdev includes custom controls to tweak some dials for
+FIM. If one of these controls is changed during streaming, the FIM will
+be reset and will continue at the new settings.
+
+- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ENABLE
+
+Enable/disable the FIM.
+
+- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_NUM
+
+How many frame interval measurements to average before comparing against
+the nominal frame interval reported by the sensor. This can reduce noise
+caused by interrupt latency.
+
+- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_TOLERANCE_MIN
+
+If the averaged intervals fall outside nominal by this amount, in
+microseconds, the V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR event is sent.
+
+- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_TOLERANCE_MAX
+
+If any intervals are higher than this value, those samples are
+discarded and do not enter into the average. This can be used to
+discard really high interval errors that might be due to interrupt
+latency from high system load.
+
+- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_NUM_SKIP
+
+How many frames to skip after a FIM reset or stream restart before
+FIM begins to average intervals.
+
+- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_CHANNEL
+- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_EDGE
+
+These controls will configure an input capture channel as the method
+for measuring frame intervals. This is superior to the default method
+of measuring frame intervals via EOF interrupt, since it is not subject
+to uncertainty errors introduced by interrupt latency.
+
+Input capture requires hardware support. A VSYNC signal must be routed
+to one of the i.MX6 input capture channel pads.
+
+V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_CHANNEL configures which i.MX6 input capture
+channel to use. This must be 0 or 1.
+
+V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_EDGE configures which signal edge will trigger
+input capture events. By default the input capture method is disabled
+with a value of IRQ_TYPE_NONE. Set this control to IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING,
+IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING, or IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH to enable input capture,
+triggered on the given signal edge(s).
+
+When input capture is disabled, frame intervals will be measured via
+EOF interrupt.
+
+
+ipuX_vdic
+---------
+
+The VDIC carries out motion compensated de-interlacing, with three
+motion compensation modes: low, medium, and high motion. The mode is
+specified with the menu control V4L2_CID_DEINTERLACING_MODE. It has
+two sink pads and a single source pad.
+
+The direct sink pad receives from an ipuX_csiY direct pad. With this
+link the VDIC can only operate in high motion mode.
+
+When the IDMAC sink pad is activated, it receives from an output
+or mem2mem device node. With this pipeline, it can also operate
+in low and medium modes, because these modes require receiving
+frames from memory buffers. Note that an output or mem2mem device
+is not implemented yet, so this sink pad currently has no links.
+
+The source pad routes to the IC pre-processing entity ipuX_ic_prp.
+
+ipuX_ic_prp
+-----------
+
+This is the IC pre-processing entity. It acts as a router, routing
+data from its sink pad to one or both of its source pads.
+
+It has a single sink pad. The sink pad can receive from the ipuX_csiY
+direct pad, or from ipuX_vdic.
+
+This entity has two source pads. One source pad routes to the
+pre-process encode task entity (ipuX_ic_prpenc), the other to the
+pre-process viewfinder task entity (ipuX_ic_prpvf). Both source pads
+can be activated at the same time if the sink pad is receiving from
+ipuX_csiY. Only the source pad to the pre-process viewfinder task entity
+can be activated if the sink pad is receiving from ipuX_vdic (frames
+from the VDIC can only be processed by the pre-process viewfinder task).
+
+ipuX_ic_prpenc
+--------------
+
+This is the IC pre-processing encode entity. It has a single sink
+pad from ipuX_ic_prp, and a single source pad. The source pad is
+routed to a capture device node, with a node name of the format
+"ipuX_ic_prpenc capture".
+
+This entity performs the IC pre-process encode task operations:
+color-space conversion, resizing (downscaling and upscaling),
+horizontal and vertical flip, and 90/270 degree rotation. Flip
+and rotation are provided via standard V4L2 controls.
+
+Like the ipuX_csiY IDMAC source, it can also perform simple de-interlace
+without motion compensation, and pixel reordering.
+
+ipuX_ic_prpvf
+-------------
+
+This is the IC pre-processing viewfinder entity. It has a single sink
+pad from ipuX_ic_prp, and a single source pad. The source pad is routed
+to a capture device node, with a node name of the format
+"ipuX_ic_prpvf capture".
+
+It is identical in operation to ipuX_ic_prpenc, with the same resizing
+and CSC operations and flip/rotation controls. It will receive and
+process de-interlaced frames from the ipuX_vdic if ipuX_ic_prp is
+receiving from ipuX_vdic.
+
+Like the ipuX_csiY IDMAC source, it can perform simple de-interlace
+without motion compensation. However, note that if the ipuX_vdic is
+included in the pipeline (ipuX_ic_prp is receiving from ipuX_vdic),
+it's not possible to use simple de-interlace in ipuX_ic_prpvf, since
+the ipuX_vdic has already carried out de-interlacing (with motion
+compensation) and therefore the field type output from ipuX_ic_prp can
+only be none.
+
+Capture Pipelines
+-----------------
+
+The following describe the various use-cases supported by the pipelines.
+
+The links shown do not include the backend sensor, video mux, or mipi
+csi-2 receiver links. This depends on the type of sensor interface
+(parallel or mipi csi-2). So these pipelines begin with:
+
+sensor -> ipuX_csiY_mux -> ...
+
+for parallel sensors, or:
+
+sensor -> imx6-mipi-csi2 -> (ipuX_csiY_mux) -> ...
+
+for mipi csi-2 sensors. The imx6-mipi-csi2 receiver may need to route
+to the video mux (ipuX_csiY_mux) before sending to the CSI, depending
+on the mipi csi-2 virtual channel, hence ipuX_csiY_mux is shown in
+parenthesis.
+
+Unprocessed Video Capture:
+--------------------------
+
+Send frames directly from sensor to camera device interface node, with
+no conversions, via ipuX_csiY IDMAC source pad:
+
+-> ipuX_csiY:2 -> ipuX_csiY capture
+
+IC Direct Conversions:
+----------------------
+
+This pipeline uses the preprocess encode entity to route frames directly
+from the CSI to the IC, to carry out scaling up to 1024x1024 resolution,
+CSC, flipping, and image rotation:
+
+-> ipuX_csiY:1 -> 0:ipuX_ic_prp:1 -> 0:ipuX_ic_prpenc:1 ->
+ ipuX_ic_prpenc capture
+
+Motion Compensated De-interlace:
+--------------------------------
+
+This pipeline routes frames from the CSI direct pad to the VDIC entity to
+support motion-compensated de-interlacing (high motion mode only),
+scaling up to 1024x1024, CSC, flip, and rotation:
+
+-> ipuX_csiY:1 -> 0:ipuX_vdic:2 -> 0:ipuX_ic_prp:2 ->
+ 0:ipuX_ic_prpvf:1 -> ipuX_ic_prpvf capture
+
+
+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 FIM controls are available either from the ipuX_csiY
+subdevs or from the active capture device.
+
+The following are specific usage notes for the Sabre* reference
+boards:
+
+
+SabreLite with OV5642 and OV5640
+--------------------------------
+
+This platform requires the OmniVision OV5642 module with a parallel
+camera interface, and the OV5640 module with a MIPI CSI-2
+interface. Both modules are available from Boundary Devices:
+
+https://boundarydevices.com/product/nit6x_5mp
+https://boundarydevices.com/product/nit6x_5mp_mipi
+
+Note that if only one camera module is available, the other sensor
+node can be disabled in the device tree.
+
+The OV5642 module is connected to the parallel bus input on the i.MX
+internal video mux to IPU1 CSI0. It's i2c bus connects to i2c bus 2.
+
+The MIPI CSI-2 OV5640 module is connected to the i.MX internal MIPI CSI-2
+receiver, and the four virtual channel outputs from the receiver are
+routed as follows: vc0 to the IPU1 CSI0 mux, vc1 directly to IPU1 CSI1,
+vc2 directly to IPU2 CSI0, and vc3 to the IPU2 CSI1 mux. The OV5640 is
+also connected to i2c bus 2 on the SabreLite, therefore the OV5642 and
+OV5640 must not share the same i2c slave address.
+
+The following basic example configures unprocessed video capture
+pipelines for both sensors. The OV5642 is routed to ipu1_csi0, and
+the OV5640, transmitting on MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 1 (which is
+imx6-mipi-csi2 pad 2), is routed to ipu1_csi1. Both sensors are
+configured to output 640x480, and the OV5642 outputs YUYV2X8, the
+OV5640 UYVY2X8:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # Setup links for OV5642
+ media-ctl -l "'ov5642 1-0042':0 -> 'ipu1_csi0_mux':1[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2 -> 'ipu1_csi0':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi0':2 -> 'ipu1_csi0 capture':0[1]"
+ # Setup links for OV5640
+ media-ctl -l "'ov5640 1-0040':0 -> 'imx6-mipi-csi2':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'imx6-mipi-csi2':2 -> 'ipu1_csi1':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi1':2 -> 'ipu1_csi1 capture':0[1]"
+ # Configure pads for OV5642 pipeline
+ media-ctl -V "'ov5642 1-0042':0 [fmt:YUYV2X8/640x480 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2 [fmt:YUYV2X8/640x480 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':2 [fmt:AYUV32/640x480 field:none]"
+ # Configure pads for OV5640 pipeline
+ media-ctl -V "'ov5640 1-0040':0 [fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'imx6-mipi-csi2':2 [fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi1':2 [fmt:AYUV32/640x480 field:none]"
+
+Streaming can then begin independently on the capture device nodes
+"ipu1_csi0 capture" and "ipu1_csi1 capture". The v4l2-ctl tool can
+be used to select any supported YUV pixelformat on the capture device
+nodes, including planar.
+
+SabreAuto with ADV7180 decoder
+------------------------------
+
+On the SabreAuto, an on-board ADV7180 SD decoder is connected to the
+parallel bus input on the internal video mux to IPU1 CSI0.
+
+The following example configures a pipeline to capture from the ADV7180
+video decoder, assuming NTSC 720x480 input signals, with Motion
+Compensated de-interlacing. Pad field types assume the adv7180 outputs
+"interlaced". $outputfmt can be any format supported by the ipu1_ic_prpvf
+entity at its output pad:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # Setup links
+ media-ctl -l "'adv7180 3-0021':0 -> 'ipu1_csi0_mux':1[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2 -> 'ipu1_csi0':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi0':1 -> 'ipu1_vdic':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'ipu1_vdic':2 -> 'ipu1_ic_prp':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'ipu1_ic_prp':2 -> 'ipu1_ic_prpvf':0[1]"
+ media-ctl -l "'ipu1_ic_prpvf':1 -> 'ipu1_ic_prpvf capture':0[1]"
+ # Configure pads
+ media-ctl -V "'adv7180 3-0021':0 [fmt:UYVY2X8/720x480]"
+ media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2 [fmt:UYVY2X8/720x480 field:interlaced]"
+ media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':1 [fmt:AYUV32/720x480 field:interlaced]"
+ media-ctl -V "'ipu1_vdic':2 [fmt:AYUV32/720x480 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'ipu1_ic_prp':2 [fmt:AYUV32/720x480 field:none]"
+ media-ctl -V "'ipu1_ic_prpvf':1 [fmt:$outputfmt field:none]"
+
+Streaming can then begin on the capture device node at
+"ipu1_ic_prpvf capture". The v4l2-ctl tool can be used to select any
+supported YUV or RGB pixelformat on the capture device node.
+
+This platform accepts Composite Video analog inputs to the ADV7180 on
+Ain1 (connector J42).
+
+SabreSD with MIPI CSI-2 OV5640
+------------------------------
+
+Similarly to SabreLite, the SabreSD supports a parallel interface
+OV5642 module on IPU1 CSI0, and a MIPI CSI-2 OV5640 module. The OV5642
+connects to i2c bus 1 and the OV5640 to i2c bus 2.
+
+The device tree for SabreSD includes OF graphs for both the parallel
+OV5642 and the MIPI CSI-2 OV5640, but as of this writing only the MIPI
+CSI-2 OV5640 has been tested, so the OV5642 node is currently disabled.
+The OV5640 module connects to MIPI connector J5 (sorry I don't have the
+compatible module part number or URL).
+
+The following example configures a direct conversion pipeline to capture
+from the OV5640, transmitting on MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 1. $sensorfmt
+can be any format supported by the OV5640. $sensordim is the frame
+dimension part of $sensorfmt (minus the mbus pixel code). $outputfmt can
+be any format supported by the ipu1_ic_prpenc entity at its output pad:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+

+tool can be used to select any supported YUV or RGB pixelformat on the
+capture device node.

+
+Known Issues
+------------
+
+1. When using 90 or 270 degree rotation control at capture resolutions
+ near the IC resizer limit of 1024x1024, and combined with planar
+ pixel formats (YUV420, YUV422p), frame capture will often fail with
+ no end-of-frame interrupts from the IDMAC channel. To work around
+ this, use lower resolution and/or packed formats (YUYV, RGB3, etc.)
+ when 90 or 270 rotations are needed.
