Commit Message

Niklas Söderlund Jan. 29, 2024, 8:22 p.m. UTC
Since the addition of Gen3 support to rcar-vin the driver have worked
around the limitation in v4l-async that a subdevice could only be bound
to one notifier. This was needed as each VIN instance can be connected
to the same CSI-2 receiver and each capture a different virtual channel.

The workaround was implemented as a single notifier that was registered
by the last VIN driver instance to attach to the device, and
unregistered by the last VIN driver instance to go away. This lead to a
lot of complexities as the driver had to synchronize between them at
different points in the life-cycle (probe, v4l-async complete, remove,
etc).

To complicate things even more some VIN instances had access to its own
private parallel interface that also needed to be a part of the media
graph. This lead to some VIN driver instances having to deal with one
private notifier for the parallel interface and interacting with the
shared group notifier.

The limitation in v4l-async have now been addressed by [1]. This
simplify things quiet a bit for drivers and this patch removes the
concept of a shared group notifier and implements a single notifier for
each VIN instance. This single notifier covers both the parallel
interface for the VIN instances that have it and all shared subdevices
that are readable for each VIN. This also simplify the media link
creation.

The group context is however retained for two reasons.

- All VIN driver instances needs to be part of the same media graph. So
  the media device is still created by the first VIN driver to be probed
  and are deleted by the last VIN instance to be removed.

- On Gen3 the hardware design requires the link notification
  implementation to access control registers only present in some VIN
  instances. These registers controls which VIN instances are connected
  to which CSI-2 receiver. This is controlled by the links in the media
  graph.

There is no intentional functional change. This patch only removes a
workaround for a functionality that now exists in v4l-async.

1. commit 28a1295795d8 ("media: v4l: async: Allow multiple connections
   between entities")
