+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This file documents the driver for the Video Input Interface (VIIF) that is
+part of Toshiba Visconti SoCs.
+The driver is located under drivers/media/platform/toshiba/visconti and uses
+the Media-Controller API.
+
+The Visconti VIIF Hardware
+==========================
+
+The Visconti VIIF hardware is a proprietary video capture device.
+Following function modules are integrated:
+
+* MIPI CSI2 receiver (CSI2RX)
+* L1 Image Signal Processor (L1ISP)
+
+ * Correction, enhancement, adjustment on RAW pictures.
+
+* L2 Image Signal Processor (L2ISP)
+
+ * Lens distortion correction
+ * Scaling
+ * Cropping
+
+* Video DMAC
+
+ * format picture (RGB, YUV, Grayscale, ...)
+ * write picture into DRAM
+
+Visconti5 SoC has two VIIF hardware instances.
+
+Topology
+========
+
+.. _visconti_viif_topology_graph:
+
+.. kernel-figure:: visconti-viif.dot
+ :alt: Diagram of the default media pipeline topology
+ :align: center
+
+The driver has 5 video devices:
+
+- viif_capture_post0: capture device for image.
+ - corresponds to L2ISP and Video DMAC HW.
+- viif_capture_post1: capture device for image.
+ - corresponds to L2ISP and Video DMAC HW.
+- viif_capture_sub: capture device for RAW image.
+ - corresponds to Video DMAC HW.
+- viif_params: a metadata output device that receives ISP parameters.
+ - corresponds to L1ISP and L2ISP HW.
+- viif_stats: a metadata capture device that sends statistics.
+ - corresponds to L1ISP and L2ISP HW.
+
+The driver has 2 subdevices:
+
+- visconti-viif:csi2rx: CSI2 receiver operation.

+
+These video nodes are used for capturing images processed at ISPs.
+They capture only following formats:
+
+- RGB3
+- AR24
+- YM16
+- YM24
+- Y16
+
+Bayer format is not supported. Use viif_capture_sub instead.
+
+POST0 and POST1 can output images from the same input image
+using different cropping and scaling settings.
+
+viif_capture_sub - Raw Image Capture Video Node
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This video node is used for capturing bayer image from the sensor.
+The output picture has exactly the same resolution and format as the sensor input.
+The following depth of bayer format is supported:
+
+- 8bit
+- 10bit
+- 12bit
+- 14bit
+
+visconti-viif:csi2rx - CSI2 Receiver Subdevice Node
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+This subdevice node corresponds to a MIPI CSI2 receiver.
+It resides between an image sensor subdevice and the ISP subdevice.
+It controls CSI2 link configuration and training process.
+
+visconti-viif:isp - ISP Subdevice Node
+--------------------------------------
+
+This subdevice node corresponds to L1/L2 ISPs.
+It receives pictures from an sensor (via CSI2RX),
+applies multiple operations on pictures, then passes resulting images to capture nodes.
+
+L1 ISP provides following operations:
+
+- Input: accepts 8, 10, 12, 14bit bayer format
+- Preprocessing: generate intermediate data (24bit RAW)
+ - HDRE: HDR expansion (only for PWL image);
+ see :c:type:`viif_l1_hdre_config`, :c:type:`viif_l1_input_mode_config`
+ - SLIC: Image Extraction (x3 12bit planes for preprocessing);
+ see :c:type:`viif_l1_img_extraction_config`

+ - YUV2RGB
+- Output: RGB, YUV422, YUV444
+
+ISP configurations/parameters are passed from userland via viif_params node.
+The status of ISP operations are passed to userland via viif_stats node.
+
+.. _viif_params:
+
+viif_params - ISP Parameters Video Node
+---------------------------------------
+
+The viif_params video node receives a set of ISP parameters from userspace
+to be applied to the hardware during a video stream.
+
+The buffer format is defined by struct :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_config`, and userspace should set
+:ref:`V4L2_META_FMT_VISCONTI_VIIF_PARAMS <v4l2-meta-fmt-visconti-viif-params>` as the data format.
+
+.. _viif_stats:
+
+viif_stats - Statistics Video Node
+----------------------------------
+
+The viif_stats video node provides current status of ISP.
+
+Following information is included:
+
+* statistics of auto white balance
+* average luminance information which can be used by auto exposure software impl.
+
+The buffer format is defined by struct :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_stat`, and userspace should set
+:ref:`V4L2_META_FMT_VISCONTI_VIIF_STATS <v4l2-meta-fmt-visconti-viif-stats>` as the data format.
+
+Capturing Video Frames Example
+==============================
+
+In the following example,
+imx219 camera is connected to pad 0 of 'visconti-viif:isp'.
+
+The following commands can be used to capture video from the main path 0
+with dimension 1024x1024 and RGB format.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ # set the links
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 -r
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 -l '"imx219 1-0010":0 -> "visconti-viif:csi2rx":0 [1]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 -l '"visconti-viif:csi2rx":1 -> "visconti-viif:isp":0 [1]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 -l '"visconti-viif:isp":1 -> "viif_capture_post0":0 [1]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 -l '"visconti-viif:isp":2 -> "viif_capture_post1":0 [1]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 -l '"visconti-viif:isp":3 -> "viif_capture_sub":0 [1]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 -l '"viif_params":0 -> "visconti-viif:isp":4 [1]'
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 -l '"visconti-viif:isp":5 -> "viif_stats":0 [1]'
+
+ # set format for imx219
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 --set-v4l2 '"imx219 1-0010":0 [fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080]'
+
+ # set format for csi2rx
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 --set-v4l2 '"visconti-viif:csi2rx":0 [fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080]'
+
+ # set format for isp sink pad
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 --set-v4l2 '"visconti-viif:isp":0 [fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080 compose:(0,0)/1920x1080]'
+
+ # set format for isp source pad
+ media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 --set-v4l2 '"visconti-viif:isp":1 [fmt:YUV8_1X24/1024 crop:(640,0)/1024x1024]'
+
+ # set format for main path0
+ v4l2-ctl -z platform:visconti-viif-0 -d viif_capture_post0 -v "width=1024,height=1024"
+ v4l2-ctl -z platform:visconti-viif-0 -d viif_capture_post0 -v "pixelformat=RGB3"
+
+ # start streaming
+ v4l2-ctl -z platform:visconti-viif-0 -d viif_capture_post0 --stream-mmap --stream-count 10
+
+
+Use of coherent memory
+======================
+
+Visconti5 SoC has two independent DDR SDRAM controllers.
+Each controller is mapped to 36bit address space.
+
+Accelerator bus masters have two paths to access memory;
+one is directly connected to SDRAM controller,
+the another is connected via a cache coherency bus
+which keeps coherency among CPUs.
+
+From accelerators and CPUs, the address map is following:
+
+* 0x0_8000_0000 DDR0 direct access
+* 0x4_8000_0000 DDR0 coherency bus
+* 0x8_8000_0000 DDR1 direct access
+* 0xC_8000_0000 DDR1 coherency bus
+
+The base address can be specified with "memory" and "reserved-memory" elements
+in a device tree description.
+It's not recommended to mix direct address and coherent address.
+
+The Visconti5 VIIF driver always use only direct address to configure Video DMACs of the hardware.
+This design is to avoid great performance loss at coherency bus caused by massive memory access.
+You should not put the dma_coherent attribute to viif element in device tree.
+Cache operations are done automatically by videobuf2 driver.

+
+Configuration parameters
+========================
+
+The configuration parameters are passed to the
+:ref:`viif_params <viif_params>` metadata output video node, using
+the :c:type:`v4l2_meta_format` interface. The buffer contains
+a single instance of the C structure :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_config` defined in
+``visconti_viif.h``. So the structure can be obtained from the buffer by:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct visconti_viif_isp_config *params = (struct visconti_viif_isp_config*) buffer;
+
+VIIF statistics
+===============
+
+The VIIF device collects different statistics over an input Bayer frame.
+Those statistics are obtained from the :ref:`viif_stats <viif_stats>`
+metadata capture video node,
+using the :c:type:`v4l2_meta_format` interface. The buffer contains a single
+instance of the C structure :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_stat` defined in
+``visconti_viif.h``. So the structure can be obtained from the buffer by:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct visconti_viif_isp_stat *stats = (struct visconti_viif_isp_stat*) buffer;
+
+The statistics collected are Exposure, AWB (auto white balance) and errors.
+See :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_stat` for details of the statistics.
+
+The statistics and configuration parameters described here are usually
+consumed and produced by dedicated user space libraries that comprise the
+tuning tools using software control loop.
