2021-10-08media: admin-guide: Update i2c-cardlistSakari Ailus
Add MIPI CCS compliant devices, a few Sony IMX, Hynix Hi-846 and Omnivision ov13b10 sensors and the DW9768 lens driver to the list of supported devices. Also drop SMIA since as a standard it is obsolete. Signed-off-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

2021-09-30media: vimc: Enable set resolution at the scaler src padPedro Terra
Modify the scaler subdevice to accept setting the resolution of the source pad (previously the source resolution would always be 3 times the sink for both dimensions). Now any resolution can be set at src (even smaller ones) and the sink video will be scaled to match it. Test example: With the vimc module up (using the default vimc topology) media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":0[fmt:RGB888_1X24/640x480]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":0[crop:(100,50)/400x150]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Scaler":1[fmt:RGB888_1X24/300x700]' v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" -v width=300,height=700 v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "Raw Capture 0" -v pixelformat=BA81 v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=10 -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" \ --stream-to=test.raw The result will be a cropped stream that can be checked with the command ffplay -loglevel warning -v info -f rawvideo -pixel_format rgb24 \ -video_size "300x700" test.raw Co-developed-by: Gabriela Bittencourt <gabrielabittencourt00@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Gabriela Bittencourt <gabrielabittencourt00@gmail.com> Co-developed-by: Gabriel Francisco Mandaji <gfmandaji@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Gabriel Francisco Mandaji <gfmandaji@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Pedro Terra <pedro@terraco.de> Reviewed-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

2021-01-28media: rockchip: rkisp1: carry ip version informationHeiko Stuebner
The IP block evolved from its rk3288/rk3399 base and the vendor designates them with a numerical version. rk3399 for example is designated V10 probably meaning V1.0. There doesn't seem to be an actual version register we could read that information from, so allow the match_data to carry that information for future differentiation. Also carry that information in the hw_revision field of the media- controller API, so that userspace also has access to that. The added versions are: - V10: at least rk3288 + rk3399 - V11: seemingly unused as of now, but probably appeared in some soc - V12: at least rk3326 + px30 - V13: at least rk1808 [fix checkpatch warning don't use multiple blank lines] Signed-off-by: Heiko Stuebner <heiko.stuebner@theobroma-systems.com> Signed-off-by: Dafna Hirschfeld <dafna.hirschfeld@collabora.com> Reviewed-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel@collabora.com> Acked-by: Helen Koike <helen.koike@collabora.com> Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

2020-09-30media: docs: ipu3.rst: rely at automarkup extensionMauro Carvalho Chehab
There are several :c:type: definitions there, in order to do cross-references with the driver's documentation. Those are broken when docs are built with Sphinx 3.x, as it would require :c:struct: instead. For Sphinx < 3.x, the automarkup.py extension is able to do the replacement already, and a future improvement on it should make it also work with Sphinx 3.x. So, get rid of the usage of the :c:type: macro there. Reviewed-by: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

To quote the TODO of this driver: -------------------------------------------------------------- The driver is deprecated and scheduled for removal by the end of 2020. In order to prevent removal the following actions would have to be taken: - clean up the code - convert to the vb2 framework - fix the disconnect and free-on-last-user handling (i.e., add a release callback for struct v4l2_device and rework the code to use that correctly). -------------------------------------------------------------- Nobody picked this up, so it's time to retire this driver.

Fix up inconsistent usage of upper and lowercase letters in "Samsung" and "Exynos" names. "SAMSUNG" and "EXYNOS" are not abbreviations but regular trademarked names. Therefore they should be written with lowercase letters starting with capital letter. The lowercase "Exynos" name is promoted by its manufacturer Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., in advertisement materials and on website. Although advertisement materials usually use uppercase "SAMSUNG", the lowercase version is used in all legal aspects (e.g. on Wikipedia and in privacy/legal statements on https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/privacy-global/).
