[PATCH v3 00/24] i.MX Media Driver

[Steve Longerbeam]

Hi Philipp,

I've created a test branch off my imx-media-staging-md-wip called tc358743,
which cherry-picks a couple of your commits from your 
imx-media-staging-md-wip
branch:

[media] tc358743: set entity function to video interface bridge
[media] tc358743: put lanes in STOP state before starting streaming

And one more commit that enables the tc358743 in the DT for sabrelite:

ARM: dts: imx6-sabrelite: switch to tc358743

which is based off your work in imx6qdl-nitrogen6x-bd-hdmi-mipi.dtsi.

With that the tc358743 is loading fine, and is present in the media graph:

root at mx6q:~# dmesg | grep -i tc358
[   11.056799] imx-media: Registered subdev tc358743 1-000f
[   11.122133] imx-media: imx_media_create_link: tc358743 1-000f:0 -> 
imx6-mipi-csi2:0
[   11.490274] tc358743 1-000f: tc358743 found @ 0x1e (21a4000.i2c)


But I'm not able to get to testing streaming yet, see below.

This works fine, I can create these links.

I can probably generate this Intel hex file myself from sysfs
edid outputs, but for convenience do you mind sending me this
file? I have a 1080p HDMI source I can plug into the tc358743.

The other problem here is that my version of v4l2-ctl, built from
master branch of git at github.com:gjasny/v4l-utils.git, does not
support taking a subdev node:

root at mx6q:~# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/v4l-subdev15 --get-edid=format=hex
VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
/dev/v4l-subdev15: not a v4l2 node

Is this something you added yourself, or where can I find this version
of v4l2-ctrl?

Thanks,
Steve
