[PATCH v10 06/17] media: uapi: Add controls for Mali-C55 ISP

Daniel Scally dan.scally at ideasonboard.com
Tue Jun 24 03:21:19 PDT 2025


Add definitions and documentation for the custom control that will
be needed by the Mali-C55 ISP driver. This will be a read only
bitmask of the driver's capabilities, informing userspace of which
blocks are fitted and which are absent.

+Arm Mali-C55 ISP driver
+=======================
+
+The Arm Mali-C55 ISP driver implements a single driver-specific control:
+
+``V4L2_CID_MALI_C55_CAPABILITIES``
+    Detail the capabilities of the ISP by giving detail about the fitted blocks.

+          - The downscale pipe is fitted in the ISP
+
+    The Mali-C55 ISP can be configured in a number of ways to include or exclude
+    blocks which may not be necessary. This control provides a way for the
+    driver to communicate to userspace which of the blocks are fitted in the
+    design.
