[PATCH v4 0/8] media: imx274: cleanups, improvements and SELECTION API support

[Luca Ceresoli <luca@lucaceresoli.net>]

Hi,

this patchset introduces cropping support for the Sony IMX274 sensor
using the SELECTION API.

With respect to v3, this version uses the SELECTION API with taget
V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE to change the output resolution. This is the
recommended API for cropping + downscaling. However for backward
compatibility the set_format callback is still supported and is
equivalent to setting the compose rect as far as resolutions are
concerned.

Patches 1-5 are overall improvements and restructuring, mostly useful
to implement the SELECTION API in a clean way.

Patch 6 introduces a helper to allow setting many registers computed
at runtime in a straightforward way. This would not have been very
useful before because all long register write sequences came from
const tables, but it's definitely a must for the cropping code where
several register values are computed at runtime.

Patch 7 is new in this series, it's a trivial typo fix that can be
applied independently.

Patch 8 implements the set_selection pad operation for cropping
(V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP) and binning (V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE). The most
tricky part was respecting all the device constraints on the
horizontal crop.

Usage examples:

 * Capture the entire 4K area, downscaled to 1080p with 2:1 binning:
   media-ctl -V '"IMX274":0[crop:(0,0)/3840x2160]'
   media-ctl -V '"IMX274":0[compose:(0,0)/1920x1080]'

 * Capture the central 1080p area (no binning):
   media-ctl -V '"IMX274":0[crop:(960,540)/1920x1080]'
   (this also sets the compose and fmt rects to 1920x1080)

Regards,
Luca
