[PATCH v3 00/24] media: ti-vpe: cal: Add media controller support

[Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>]

Hello,

This patch series adds media controller support to the ti-cal driver. It
incorporates the review feedback received on v2, and has been rebased on
top of the media tree, dropping about three quarters of the patches from
v2 that have already been merged.

The end goal is to support pipelines where the image source is more
complex than a single subdev (for instance a SMIA++-compliant sensor, or
an FPD-Link source made of a camera, a serializer and a deserializer),
and to prepare for support of multiple hardware contexts, needed for
CSI-2 virtual channel and data type multiplexing support. These use
cases require configuration of the external pipeline from userspace, and
thus need support for the media controller and V4L2 subdev userspace
APIs.

The series starts with refactoring CAMERARX instances support by
splitting them to sudbevs in patch 01/24. Patches 02/24 to 06/24 perform
small cleanups, patch 07/24 implements the subdev operations and patch
08/24 uses them to configure and control the CAMERARX.

More refactoring and cleanup follow in patches 09/24 to 23/24, until
patch 24/24 that adds media controller support. As the existing video
node centric API needs to be preserved to avoid breaking userspace
applications, a module parameter is added to enable the media controller
API. Changes are otherwise fairly limited, and mostly involve the
implementation of MC-centric V4L2 ioctl handlers (which are far simpler
than their video node centric equivalents), additional pipeline
validation in the vb2 start streaming handler, and disabling control
handling in the video nodes.

Addition of a new Kconfig option to select the default value of the MC
API control module parameter has been left out from patch 24/24 until
the related discussions complete. This can easily be implemented on top,
without introducing any regression. Alternatively patch 24/24 could be
left out for the time being if desired.

The patches have been tested on an AM65x EVM with an OV5640 camera
module with the yavta test application, both in MC mode and in legacy
mode. As the ov5640 driver sets a default format identical to the
default of the ti-cal driver, capture in both modes can simply be tested
with

        yavta -f UYVY -s 640x480 -c10 --requeue-last /dev/video0

without requiring manual pipeline setup through the media controller
API. Usage of other formats or resolutions require pipeline
configuration before capture.
