Commit Message

The use_count check was introduced so that multiple concurrent Raw Data
Interfaces RDIs could be driven by different virtual channels VCs on the
CSIPHY input driving the video pipeline.

This is an invalid use of use_count though as use_count pertains to the
number of times a video entity has been opened by user-space not the number
of active streams.

If use_count and stream-on count don't agree then stop_streaming() will
break as is currently the case and has become apparent when using CAMSS
with libcamera's released softisp 0.3.

The use of use_count like this is a bit hacky and right now breaks regular
usage of CAMSS for a single stream case.

One CAMSS specific way to handle multiple VCs on the same RDI might be:

- Reference count each pipeline enable for CSIPHY, CSID, VFE and RDIx.
- The video buffers are already associated with msm_vfeN_rdiX so
  release video buffers when told to do so by stop_streaming.
- Only release the power-domains for the CSIPHY, CSID and VFE when
  their internal refcounts drop.

Either way refusing to release video buffers based on use_count is
erroneous and should be reverted. The silicon enabling code for selecting
VCs is perfectly fine. Its a "known missing feature" that concurrent VCs
won't work with CAMSS right now.

Initial testing with this code didn't show an error but, SoftISP and "real"
usage with Google Hangouts breaks the upstream code pretty quickly, we need
to do a partial revert and take another pass at VCs.

This commit partially reverts commit 89013969e232 ("media: camss: sm8250:
Pipeline starting and stopping for multiple virtual channels")

Please be a bit more specific about how this manifest itself to the
user. I see error message when stopping a stream (e.g. stopping qcam)
and the stream cannot be restarted (e.g. qcam fails with -EBUSY).

Looks like you're missing a CC stable tag here?
