[PATCH v12 04/15] media: uapi: Add controls for Mali-C55 ISP

Thu Oct 2 03:18:23 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.

Changes in v12:

	- Removed _FITTED suffix from control value names
	- Specified bitmask for control name
	- Used (1 << n) instead of BIT(n) in uapi header
	- Updated comment to reserve 16 controls for driver

Changes in v11:

	- None
Changes in v10:

	- None

Changes in v9:

	- New patch

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

+          - MALI_C55_GPS_DS_PIPE
+          - 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.
