Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] media: docs: Add userspace-API guide for the IMX585 driver
Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2025 23:09:21 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250810220921.14307-5-will@willwhang.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250810220921.14307-1-will@willwhang.com>

The new IMX585 V4L2 sub-device driver introduces several
driver-specific controls for configuring Clear-HDR blending,
gradation compression thresholds, and HCG enabling.  This patch adds
an rst document under Documentation/userspace-api/media/drivers/
that details each control, allowed values, and their effects.

+Sony IMX585 driver
+==================
+
+The IMX585 image-sensor driver provides the following *driver-specific*
+V4L2 controls.  They are visible only when the IMX585 driver is loaded
+and sit in the sensor-private control class.
+
+HDR data blending
+-----------------
+
+``V4L2_CID_IMX585_HDR_DATASEL_TH``  (``U16[2]``)
+    Lower/upper **thresholds** (0 – 4095) that decide which exposure is
+    chosen—or blended—for each pixel in Clear-HDR mode.
+
+``V4L2_CID_IMX585_HDR_DATASEL_BK``  (menu)
+    **Blending ratio** between the long-gain (LG) and
+    high-gain (HG) read-outs.
+
+    .. flat-table::
+       :stub-columns: 0
+       :widths: 1 5
+
+       * - ``0``
+         - HG ½, LG ½
+       * - ``1``
+         - HG ¾, LG ¼
+       * - ``2``     # duplicate ratio present in the datasheet
+         - HG ½, LG ½
+       * - ``3``
+         - HG ⅞, LG ⅛
+       * - ``4``
+         - HG 15⁄16, LG 1⁄16
+       * - ``5``     # second 50/50 entry as documented
+         - **2ⁿᵈ** HG ½, LG ½
+       * - ``6``
+         - HG 1⁄16, LG 15⁄16
+       * - ``7``
+         - HG ⅛, LG ⅞
+       * - ``8``
+         - HG ¼, LG ¾
+
+Gradation compression
+---------------------
+
+``V4L2_CID_IMX585_HDR_GRAD_TH``  (``U32[2]``)
+    17-bit **break-points** (0 – 0x1ffff) that shape the 16-bit
+    gradation-compression curve.
+
+``V4L2_CID_IMX585_HDR_GRAD_COMP_L``  (menu)
+    See V4L2_CID_IMX585_HDR_GRAD_COMP_H
+
+``V4L2_CID_IMX585_HDR_GRAD_COMP_H``  (menu)
+    **Compression ratios** below the first break-point and between the
+    two break-points, respectively.
+
+    .. flat-table::
+        :stub-columns: 0
+        :widths: 1 4
+
+        * - ``0``
+          - 1 : 1
+        * - ``1``
+          - 1 : 2
+        * - ``2``
+          - 1 : 4   *(default for COMP_L)*
+        * - ``3``
+          - 1 : 8
+        * - ``4``
+          - 1 : 16
+        * - ``5``
+          - 1 : 32
+        * - ``6``
+          - 1 : 64  *(default for COMP_H)*
+        * - ``7``
+          - 1 : 128
+        * - ``8``
+          - 1 : 256
+        * - ``9``
+          - 1 : 512
+        * - ``10``
+          - 1 : 1024
+        * - ``11``
+          - 1 : 2048
+
+Gain settings
+-------------
+
+``V4L2_CID_IMX585_HDR_GAIN``  (menu)
+    **Additional gain** (in dB) applied to the high-gain path when
+    Clear-HDR is active.
+
+    .. flat-table::
+        :stub-columns: 0
+        :widths: 1 3
+
+        * - ``0``
+          - +0 dB
+        * - ``1``
+          - +6 dB
+        * - ``2``
+          - +12 dB *(default)*
+        * - ``3``
+          - +18 dB
+        * - ``4``
+          - +24 dB
+        * - ``5``
+          - +29.1 dB
+
+``V4L2_CID_IMX585_HCG_GAIN``  (boolean)
+    Toggle **High-Conversion-Gain** mode.
+
+    *0 = LCG (default), 1 = HCG.*
+
+Notes
+-----
+
+* Controls are writable while streaming; changes take effect from the
+  next frame.
+* HDR-specific controls are hidden when HDR is disabled.
+* Inter-control dependencies are enforced by the driver.
