Subject: [PATCH 22/22] media: imx: TODO: Remove issues regarding media link creation
Date: Mon, 5 Aug 2019 16:35:05 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190805233505.21167-23-slongerbeam@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190805233505.21167-1-slongerbeam@gmail.com>
Remove the TODO items regarding media link creation, these issues are
resolved after exporting media link creation to individual entity bound
callbacks and the use of media_create_fwnode_links(),
media_create_fwnode_pad_links(), and media_entity_get_fwnode_pad().

decided whether this feature is useful enough to make it generally
available by exporting to v4l2-core.
-- After all async subdevices have been bound, v4l2_fwnode_parse_link()
- is used to form the media links between the devices discovered in
- the OF graph.
-
- While this approach allows support for arbitrary OF graphs, there
- are some assumptions for this to work:
-
- 1. If a port owned by a device in the graph has endpoint nodes, the
- port is treated as a media pad.
-
- This presents problems for devices that don't make this port = pad
- assumption. Examples are SMIAPP compatible cameras which define only
- a single output port node, but which define multiple pads owned
- by multiple subdevices (pixel-array, binner, scaler). Or video
- decoders (entity function MEDIA_ENT_F_ATV_DECODER), which also define
- only a single output port node, but define multiple pads for video,
- VBI, and audio out.
-
- A workaround at present is to set the port reg properties to
- correspond to the media pad index that the port represents. A
- possible long-term solution is to implement a subdev API that
- maps a port id to a media pad index.
-
- 2. Every endpoint of a port owned by a device in the graph is treated
- as a media link.
-
- Which means a port must not contain mixed-use endpoints, they
- must all refer to media links between V4L2 subdevices.
-
- i.MX7: all of the above, since it uses the imx media core
- i.MX7: use Frame Interval Monitor
