Habidere,

This series introduces support for the Rockchip Camera Interface (CIF),
which is featured in many Rockchip SoCs in different variations.
For example, the PX30 Video Input Processor (VIP) is able to receive
video data via the Digital Video Port (DVP, a parallel data interface)
and transfer it into system memory using a double-buffering mechanism
called ping-pong mode.
The RK3568 Video Capture (VICAP) unit, on the other hand, features a
DVP and a MIPI CSI-2 receiver that can receive video data independently
(both using the ping-pong scheme).
The different variants may have additional features, such as scaling
and/or cropping.
Finally, the RK3588 VICAP unit constitutes an essential piece of the
camera interface with one DVP, six MIPI CSI-2 receivers, scale/crop
units, and a data path multiplexer (to scaler units, to ISP, ...).

The v7 of the series adds a media controller centric V4L2 device driver
for the Rockchip CIF with
 - support for the PX30 VIP (not tested, though, due to the lack of HW)
 - support for the RK3568 VICAP, including
    - capturing frames from the DVP
    - capturing frames from the MIPI CSI-2 receiver
 - abstraction for the ping-pong scheme to allow for future extensions
 - abstraction for the INTERFACE and CROP parts to allow for future
   extensions
 - initial support for different virtual channels (not tested, though,
   due to the lack of HW)
and a V4L2 subdevice driver for the Rockchip MIPI CSI-2 Receiver.

The patches are functional and have been tested successfully on a
custom RK3568 board including the ITE Tech. IT6801 HDMI receiver and
the Sony IMX415 image sensor as subdevices attached to the DVP and the
MIPI CSI-2 receiver, respectively.
The IT6801 driver still needs some loving care but shall be submitted
as well at some point.

However, several features are not yet addressed, such as
 - support for the RK3588 variant (-> next item on my TODO)
 - support for the MUX/SCALE/TOISP block in the RK3588 VICAP (which
   provides the base for image processing on the RK3588)
 - support for the scaling unit in the PX30 (-> cannot do due to the
   lack of HW)
 - support for the interface to the Rockchip ISP in the RK3568
   (-> cannot do, latest information from Rockchip points out there
   IS NO HW CONNECTION BETWEEN VICAP AND ISP ON RK3568)

Looking forward to your comments!
