There is more work, because the way you've merged my changes to
imx_smfc_setup_channel() into csi_idmac_setup_channel() is wrong with
respect to the burst size.
You always set it to 8 or 16 depending on the width:
burst_size = (image.pix.width & 0xf) ? 8 : 16;
ipu_cpmem_set_burstsize(priv->idmac_ch, burst_size);
and then you have my switch() statement which assigns burst_size.
My _tested_ code removed the above, added the switch, which had
a default case which reflected the above setting:
default:
burst_size = (outfmt->width & 0xf) ? 8 : 16;
and then went on to set the burst size _after_ the switch statement:
ipu_cpmem_set_burstsize(priv->smfc_ch, burst_size);
The effect is unchanged for non-bayer formats. For bayer formats, the
burst size is determined by the bayer data size.
So, even if it's appropriate to fix ipu_cpmem_set_image(), fixing the
above is still required.
I'm not convinced that fixing ipu_cpmem_set_image() is even the best
solution - it's not as trivial as it looks on the surface:
ipu_cpmem_set_resolution(ch, image->rect.width, image->rect.height);
ipu_cpmem_set_stride(ch, pix->bytesperline);
this is fine, it doesn't depend on the format. However, the next line:
ipu_cpmem_set_fmt(ch, v4l2_pix_fmt_to_drm_fourcc(pix->pixelformat));
does - v4l2_pix_fmt_to_drm_fourcc() is a locally defined function (it
isn't v4l2 code) that converts a v4l2 pixel format to a DRM fourcc.
DRM knows nothing about bayer formats, there aren't fourcc codes in
DRM for it. The result is that v4l2_pix_fmt_to_drm_fourcc() returns
-EINVAL cast to a u32, which gets passed unchecked into ipu_cpmem_set_fmt().
ipu_cpmem_set_fmt() won't recognise that, and also returns -EINVAL - and
it's a bug that this is not checked and propagated. If it is checked and
propagated, then we need this to support bayer formats, and I don't see
DRM people wanting bayer format fourcc codes added without there being
a real DRM driver wanting to use them.
Then there's the business of calculating the top-left offset of the image,
which for bayer always needs to be an even number of pixels - as this
function takes the top-left offset, it ought to respect it, but if it
doesn't meet this criteria, what should it do? csi_idmac_setup_channel()
always sets them to zero, but that's not really something that
ipu_cpmem_set_image() should assume.
