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
Remove the TODO items regarding media link creation, these issues are resolved by moving media link creation to individual entity bound callbacks and the implementation of the get_fwnode_pad operation.
