This series is a split from the series :
[PATCH v9 00/13] media: atmel: atmel-isc: implement media controller
and it includes the media controller part.
previous fixes were sent on a different patch series.

As discussed on the ML, moving forward with having the media link validate at
start/stop streaming call.
I will test the patch :
[RFC PATCHv2] vb2: add support for (un)prepare_streaming queue ops
afterwards, but that patch requires moving my logic to the new vb2 callbacks.

Full series history:

Changes in v10:
-> split the series into this first fixes part.
-> moved IO_MC addition from first patch to the second patch on the driver changes
-> edited commit messages
-> DT nodes now disabled by default.

Changes in v9:
-> kernel robot reported isc_link_validate is not static, changed to static.

Changes in v8:
-> scaler: modified crop bounds to have the exact source size

Changes in v7:
-> scaler: modified crop bounds to have maximum isc size
-> format propagation: did small changes as per Jacopo review


Changes in v6:
-> worked a bit on scaler, added try crop and other changes as per Jacopo review
-> worked on isc-base enum_fmt , reworked as per Jacopo review

Changes in v5:
-> removed patch that removed the 'stop' variable as it was still required
-> added two new trivial patches
-> reworked some parts of the scaler and format propagation after discussions with Jacopo


Changes in v4:
-> as reviewed by Hans, added new patch to remove the 'stop' variable and reworked
one patch that was using it
-> as reviewed by Jacopo, reworked some parts of the media controller implementation


Changes in v3:
- change in bindings, small fixes in csi2dc driver and conversion to mc
for the isc-base.
- removed some MAINTAINERS patches and used patterns in MAINTAINERS

Changes in v2:
- integrated many changes suggested by Jacopo in the review of the v1 series.
- add a few new patches

Hello Hans,

What do you think about this series, does it require more work or 
changes until it could move further ? Anything in particular you would 
like me to try or test out ?

Thanks,
Eugen

It's high on my todo list to look at this and see if anything else needs to
be done. I hope to get to this this week.

I'm looking at merging this series, but I would like to have the output of
'v4l2-compliance -m /dev/mediaX' to verify that the MC links etc. is all
correct.

And one more question which may have been answered already in the past:

Changing to the MC will break existing applications, doesn't it? Or did I
miss something?

Regards,

	Hans

Hello Hans,

Please have a look at attached file . Unless you want me to add the 
whole output to the e-mail ?

I also added output of media-ctl -p for your convenience.
the subdev2 is a device and driver that is not upstream and has some 
compliance issues, they are reported by the v4l2-compliance tool, but 
they should not affect this series, it's a synopsys driver that was 
rejected on mainline a few years ago, I took it for internal usage, but 
it's not cleaned up nor worked a lot upon.

The existing applications will have to configure the pipeline now. It 
will no longer work by configuring just the top video node /dev/video0 .
They would have to use media-ctl for it, something similar with this set 
of commands:

media-ctl -d /dev/media0 --set-v4l2 '"imx219 
1-0010":0[fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080]'
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 --set-v4l2 
'"dw-csi.0":0[fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080]'
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 --set-v4l2 '"csi2dc":0[fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080]'
media-ctl -d /dev/media0 --set-v4l2 
'"atmel_isc_scaler":0[fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080]'

Thank you for taking care of this !

Eugen

To add on top of that, actually, the reality is that without the MC 
support in atmel-isc , some of our platforms do not work at all, because 
the csi2dc driver which is in the middle of the pipeline, is a MC 
driver. So it will not work without configuring it with MC anyway. It 
used to work in a very preliminary version of the csi2dc driver which I 
sent a few years ago, but that way of handling things was rejected. 
Hence I changed the csi2dc to being full-MC driver (requested for new 
drivers) and now I am completing the conversion for the whole pipeline.
We are using this MC-centric approach in production for our products to 
be as close as possible to mainline, and backported it to our 5.15 
internal releases, which people are using right now.

OK, good to know.

From the compliance output:

	v4l2-compliance 1.22.1, 32 bits, 32-bit time_t

This is an old v4l2-compliance version. Compile it directly from the
v4l-utils git repo and check the output again.

	Compliance test for atmel_isc_commo device /dev/media0:

As you can see, the driver name is cut off. Isn't 'atmel-isc'
a better name?

I'd like to see this documented in a new
Documentation/admin-guide/media/atmel-isc.rst file. That can be a new patch.

I'm not all that keen on breaking userspace for those who do NOT use the
Atmel BSP. Basically some platforms are currently broken, and with this patch
series some other platforms are broken, but at least can be fixed by changing
userspace.

How feasible is it to do something similar that TI did for the cal driver?
(drivers/media/platform/ti/cal)

I.e., based on a module option the MC is enabled or disabled. And if a
csi2dc is present, then the MC API is always enabled.

	Hans

Okay, I will start a build. I have to get my full environment ready, 
fire up a Buildroot. It will be ready tomorrow.

Maybe, but this name is the name of the entity, and is taken from the 
name of the kernel module. Since the split of the isc driver into 
atmel_isc_common and atmel-sama5d2-isc , atmel-sama7g5-isc , this name 
has been set for the module here:

https://git.linuxtv.org/hverkuil/media_tree.git/tree/drivers/media/platform/atmel/Makefile?h=for-v5.20e#n7

And the ISC driver takes the module name and uses it for video name here:

https://git.linuxtv.org/hverkuil/media_tree.git/tree/drivers/media/platform/atmel/atmel-isc-base.c?h=for-v5.20e#n1999

Some platforms that are now broken, never worked, because they would 
need all the modules to be configured with MC anyway.
The other platforms, that work now by just configuring the top video 
node, work, but in a quite limited way, as sensor drivers can be 
MC-capable and configurable from userspace, but the top video driver 
will overwrite their configuration based on it's own decision algorithm.
With the MC approach, all the platforms work, the drawback is, as you 
said, that the userspace has to configure the pipeline from head to toe; 
but , we knew that: moving to a MC approach, makes the old way of 
configuring the image capture simply 'not enough'.

It would be difficult to maintain a driver that would use the MC API and 
handle the things for itself and just check the pipeline; and in the 
same time if a module parameter is different, pass configuration down 
the pipeline and have an algorithm implemented that would interact with 
the subdev, ask for it's capabilities, and then decide on its own what 
the subdev would use. The driver would be a bit big and it would have a 
lot of code. That is one of the advantages of these patches, to simplify 
the driver.

I would prefer to not have to keep that code, and move to MC approach, 
but in the end you have arguments and you are in charge.

I think I have suggested Eugen to move to MC when he
started looking in libcamera, so sorry for the intrusion but I feel
a bit bad for not rising the point earlier and get him to v10

I understand your point Hans, and when a vendor upstreaming code or a
user requires to maintain compatibility, the burden of keeping more
code in to handle the MC and non-MC cases is worth the complications.

But if even the vendor wants to move to MC to allow more use-cases I
think we have to acknolege that if you're running mainline on an
embedded system you could expect to adjust your setup between kernel
updates. The idea to document the media-ctl commands required to setup
the pipeline it's helpful, and might help in the interim period until
the platform is not supported by libcamera.

That said, if Eugen wants to give the flag a try I won't
oppose :)

Don't get me wrong, I like the MC approach, after implementing it, I am 
happy how the driver turned out. It's much simpler and covering a 
plethora of new use cases which were previously not available, as it was 
much more rigid. So I agree with what you suggested, and I support the 
idea as well.

We are pretty much convinced to use the MC-only approach and are moving 
in that direction. But, if we have to keep the old code to maintain 
backwards compatibility , we have no choice.
However, we will move forward, and only use the MC approach from now on, 
and will no longer use this driver without MC. That use case will be out 
of our scope. If there are people using it and it works, all the better 
then.

Eugen, can you provide a list of platforms that will break with this
change and which platforms are currently broken without this series?

I'm trying to get a bit of a feel of the potential problems this change
will introduce.

Well, I don't want Linus to start yelling at me for breaking userspace :-)

We have broken userspace API (intentionally) in the past, but only with
good reasons. And sometimes a driver is used so rarely that it is not worth
the effort to try and keep compatible.

As a developer I'd love to just forget about the old API, but as subsystem
maintainer I need good arguments.

Another option might be to take the TI cal approach, but have warnings that
it will be removed in, say, 2 years time. Or even make a copy of the driver
for the old platforms, and perhaps move that to staging to be removed eventually.

The idea of a sudden breakage when going from kernel K to K+1 doesn't sit
well with me, if there was a transition period of 1-2 years then that would be
better.

	Hans

I understand and I think these are all valid concerns. Finding a
balance between new features and legacy is not easy.

If staging works for you that's probably the easiest option. Let's see

Hi Hans,

sama5d21, sama5d27, sama5d29, in various packages, SIP, SoMs, on many 
different boards ) would be broken. this is the old platform.
It would be broken if the sensor default format is a mismatch with the 
default format of the ISC .  Basically the old code currently is 
propagating all the frame information down to the sensor, thing that no 
longer happens with this patch series.

The platform that needs MC is mainly sama7g5 , which has a longer 
pipeline, supports CSI2 bus, and has more drivers (the csi2dc is one of 
them ), some are not mainlined.
Future platforms , which are currently in prototyping, have a similar 
pipeline with sama7g5, some have more complicated pipelines, but they 
include the ISC and we plan to use the same driver.

Hi Jacopo,

How does the staging solution work ? I do not fully understand the 
options here to make an educated choice

Thanks for helping out,

Hans should probably tell, but my interepetation would be to move the
existing driver (before this series) to drivers/staging/ and advance
the existing one in drivers/media/ to MC support.

Users of the old driver interface could keep using the one in (de)staging
for a little longer.

Would changing the driver KConfig symbol name help making the change
more evident maybe ? Users that upgrade to a new kernel will be
notified about the new symbol instead of being silently moved to the new
interface.

Right. And strip the support for the newer platforms from the staging driver.
So it is just for sama5d2.

I'm inclined to change the Kconfig symbol for both old and new drivers
if we decide to go in this direction: in both cases you need to be aware
that there are major changes: the new uses the MC API, the old is marked
deprecated and users should be aware that it will be removed eventually
and they should work to switch to the 'new' driver.
