These patches depend on the subdev routing series and CAL preparation series: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20210427124523.990938-1-tomi.valkeinen@ideasonboard.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20210420120433.902394-1-tomi.valkeinen@ideasonboard.com/ One detail I'm not too happy about is adding a new kernel module parameter 'cal_streams_api'. Setting this parameter enables the multiplexed streams support for the CAL sink pads. I'd like the driver to be able to figure this out itself, but there's no simple answer to it. A pad in a subdev has to be either in non-multiplexed or multiplexed mode. If the subdev cannot support multiplexed streams, then the answer is clear. But if it can, then the question becomes "what's connected to the pad, and what does it want". Afaik, the idea with subdev configuration is that each subdev can be configured independently, so the driver trying to figure out the answer to that question breaks this idea. Also, two connected subdevs that both can support both modes wouldn't even give the answer, but the answer might be found further away, probably from the sensor subdev. So, maybe it should be the userspace that can set a subdev pad to either of the modes. There's currently no such uAPI, but I think this option makes the most sense. Another detail to note is the embedded data support. I don't have hardware with real embedded data, so I have not added any embedded data formats. Also, the embedded data is captured with the video capture ioctls, not the metadata capture ioctls. The reason for this is that in the case of CSI-2 embedded data (at least for this hardware) the embedded data is very much like pixel data: the data is sent in lines just before or after the pixel content and each subdev needs a set_fmt call with the width, height, and mbus-code. Using the metadata ioctls is possible, but it only results in much more complex driver code, and, I think, more confusing userspace.
