From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@gmx.de>

This patch adds a document describing common OF bindings for video
capture, output and video processing devices. It is curently mainly
focused on video capture devices, with data busses defined by
standards like ITU-R BT.656 or MIPI-CSI2.
It also documents a method of describing data links between devices.

Changes since v4:
 - added note that multiple endpoints at a port can be active at any time,
 - introduced optional 'ports' node aggregating 'port' nodes if required
   to avoid conflicts with any child bus of a device,
 - improved definition of the 'slave-mode' property,
 - corrected 'bus-width' and 'data-shift' properties specification,
 - dropped 'immutable' properties in the example dts snippet.

The 'ports' node seems to be missing from the documentation.

Ouch, indeed. I must have lost it somewhere during rebase :-/
I'll re-create it and resend.

+Common bindings for video data receiver and transmitter interfaces
+
+General concept
+---------------
+
+Video data pipelines usually consist of external devices, e.g. camera sensors,
+controlled over an I2C, SPI or UART bus, and SoC internal IP blocks, including
+video DMA engines and video data processors.
+
+SoC internal blocks are described by DT nodes, placed similarly to other SoC
+blocks.  External devices are represented as child nodes of their respective
+bus controller nodes, e.g. I2C.
+
+Data interfaces on all video devices are described by their child 'port' nodes.
+Configuration of a port depends on other devices participating in the data
+transfer and is described by 'endpoint' subnodes.
+
+device {
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <0>;
+	port@0 {
+		endpoint@0 { ... };
+		endpoint@1 { ... };
+	};
+	port@1 { ... };
+};
+
+If a port can be configured to work with more than one other device on the same
+bus, an 'endpoint' child node must be provided for each of them.  If more than
+one port is present in a device node or there is more than one endpoint at a
+port, a common scheme, using '#address-cells', '#size-cells' and 'reg'
+properties is used.
+
+Two 'endpoint' nodes are linked with each other through their 'remote-endpoint'
+phandles.  An endpoint subnode of a device contains all properties needed for
+configuration of this device for data exchange with the other device.  In most
+cases properties at the peer 'endpoint' nodes will be identical, however
+they might need to be different when there is any signal modifications on the
+bus between two devices, e.g. there are logic signal inverters on the lines.
+
+It is allowed for multiple endpoints at a port to be active simultaneously,
+where supported by a device.  For example in case where a data interface of
+a device is partitioned into multiple data busses, e.g. 16-bit input port
+divided into two separate ITU-R BT.656 8-bit busses.  In such a case bus-width
+and data-shift properties can be used to assign physical data lines to each
+endpoint node (logical bus).
+
+Required properties
+-------------------
+
+If there is more than one 'port' or more than one 'endpoint' node or 'reg'
+property is present in port and/or endpoint nodes the following properties
+are required in relevant parent node:
+
+ - #address-cells : number of cells required to define port/endpoint
+		    identifier, should be 1.
+ - #size-cells    : should be zero.
+
+Optional endpoint properties
+----------------------------
+
+- remote-endpoint: phandle to an 'endpoint' subnode of the other device node.
+- slave-mode: a boolean property indicating that the link is run in slave mode.
+  The default when this property is not specified is master mode. In the slave
+  mode horizontal and vertical synchronization signals are provided to the
+  slave device (data source) by the master device (data sink). In the master
+  mode the data source device is also the source of the synchronization signals.
+- bus-width: number of data lines actively used, valid for the parallel busses.
+- data-shift: on the parallel data busses, if bus-width is used to specify the
+  number of data lines, data-shift can be used to specify which data lines are
+  used, e.g. "bus-width=<8>; data-shift=<2>;" means, that lines 9:2 are used.
+- hsync-active: active state of HSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively.
+- vsync-active: active state of VSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively.
+  Note, that if HSYNC and VSYNC polarities are not specified, embedded
+  synchronization may be required, where supported.
+- data-active: similar to HSYNC and VSYNC, specifies data line polarity.
+- field-even-active: field signal level during the even field data transmission.
+- pclk-sample: sample data on rising (1) or falling (0) edge of the pixel clock
+  signal.
+- data-lanes: an array of physical data lane indexes. Position of an entry
+  determines the logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates
+  physical lane, e.g. for 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have
+  "data-lanes = <1 2>;", assuming the clock lane is on hardware lane 0.
+  This property is valid for serial busses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2).
+- clock-lanes: an array of physical clock lane indexes. Position of an entry
+  determines the logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates
+  physical lane, e.g. for a MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have "clock-lanes = <0>;",
+  which places the clock lane on hardware lane 0. This property is valid for
+  serial busses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2). Note that for the MIPI CSI-2 bus this
+  array contains only one entry.
+- clock-noncontinuous: a boolean property to allow MIPI CSI-2 non-continuous
+  clock mode.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+The example snippet below describes two data pipelines.  ov772x and imx074 are
+camera sensors with a parallel and serial (MIPI CSI-2) video bus respectively.
+Both sensors are on the I2C control bus corresponding to the i2c0 controller
+node.  ov772x sensor is linked directly to the ceu0 video host interface.
+imx074 is linked to ceu0 through the MIPI CSI-2 receiver (csi2). ceu0 has a
+(single) DMA engine writing captured data to memory.  ceu0 node has a single
+'port' node which may indicate that at any time only one of the following data
+pipelines can be active: ov772x -> ceu0 or imx074 -> csi2 -> ceu0.
