[PATCH v3 0/8] imx7/imx8mm media / csi patches

[Alexander Stein]

Hey everyone,

thanks for the feedback in v2.

Changes in v3:
* Dropped PATCH v2 5/9, applied in commit a7a52e146d0e
* Added R-b Laurent Pinchart to PATCH 1 & 4
* Fix bpp check in PATCH 3

Below is the original message slightly modified to match the v3 changes.

This is a set of patch for imx7 media drivers based on next-20220308. With
this set I was able to capture video frames from a MIPI CSI-2 camera in my
TQMa8MQML + MBA8MX hardware. The actual camera used is a Vision Components
'VC MIPI IMX327 C' camera. IMX327 is compatible to IMX290. Patch 8 shows the
DT overlay I'm using, not suitable for merging.
Please ignore the FPGA part, this is mainly for power supply and GPIO reset
line. This is currently a custom driver I'm working on, but I do not want to
focus on in this series.

Please note I tested this only on this imx8 platform.

First thanks to Dorota for the patchset at [1] (patches 1-4) which is necessary
to capture correct images.

Starting from patch 5 there are small fixes which allows me to configure my
media device.

Device configuration:
```
media-ctl -l "'imx290 2-001a':0->'csis-32e30000.mipi-csi':0 [1]"
media-ctl -V "'imx290 2-001a':0 [fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080 field:none colorspace:raw]"
media-ctl -V "'csi':0 [fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080 field:none colorspace:raw]"
v4l2-ctl -d0 --set-fmt-video width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat='RG10',field=none
media-ctl -p
```

The media-ctl topology is:
```
$ media-ctl -p
Media controller API version 5.17.0

```

Note: MIPI CSI settle times are not calculated correctly right now and need a
manual overwrite:
echo 13 > /sys/kernel/debug/32e30000.mipi-csi/ths_settle 
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/debug/32e30000.mipi-csi/tclk_settle

I did not focus on v4l2-compliance tool, this is a future task.

Alexander
