mxc_v4l2_capture sometimes not being modprobed

mxc_v4l2_capture sometimes not being modprobed

[John Weber]

meta-freescalers:

I'm seeing a behavior that I can't easily explain.  I'm not seeing the mxc_v4l2_capture drivers and dependent ipu drivers being automatically modprobed on Wandboard during a majority of system startups (but not all).  I was under the impression that this should be done by udev, but for some reason it seems to either fail or is skipped.

I can force the driver to be loaded at startup by adding the name of the driver in a line in /etc/modules.  This works to load the driver every time at startup, but I'm fairly certain that this is not the most ideal approach because (A) I have to write a recipe to make the change to /etc/modules and (B) it does not explain why the driver load works sometimes, but not all of the time.

Any ideas?

John

Does this happens with 3.0.35 and 3.10.17?

I did notice it on both kernels.  From what I've been able to gather after 
sending this email, the modules load at first boot on a freshly burned rootfs 
(that hasn't been postinst'd).  After that, SW and HW resets and POR to not 
result in loaded mxc_v4l2_capture module or its dependencies.  I do have other 
modules loaded, however, all the time - the ov5640_mipi driver and the Broadcom 
WLAN drivers load without fail.

I suspect it could be a sequencing problem, but adding the line to /etc/modules 
fixes it.

Are you using udev-cache?

I believe so:

Disable it in default, please, and check if it helps.

Well ... I need a coffee ...

Ok ... it seems we have a timing issue but it is related to the device settling.

Please apply following change in the udev init script:

Nope - that doesn't help the problem.  The udevadm trigger line above includes 
"--subsystem-nomatch=platform" and if I remove that while keeping everything 
else the same, it works fine.

I'd be interested to know if anyone else sees the same problem on other machines?

It kind of makes sense to me; if you keep the platform skip and remove
the background & job, does it work?

I bet it is not machine dependent.

If you mean, remove the timeout=3 on the udevadm settle, no.  If I keep the 
platform skip, it does not work at all.

I think you're right, but as far as I know the only other entity that could 
confirm this would be Boundary Devices.  Eric - do you see this same issue when 
connecting your camera to Nitrogen6x?

I've kinda followed this thread, but I'm kinda buried and it will take
a day or two for me to confirm or deny this.

I just tested across a dozen assorted reboots/resets/power-cycles
and didn't see the issue with an OV5642 parallel camera and 3.10.17.

I **don't** have udev-cache configured.

This is not a good fix.

I added a patch, for OE-Core/Poky, attached; please confirm it fixes it.

Subject: [PATCH] udev: Trigger platform events for udev-cache
Organization: O.S. Systems Software LTDA.

Some embedded boards need to have the platform events triggered so the
platform specific drivers are loaded.

This has been found when testing a camera module in Wandboard Quad.

I just tested again on an image with udev-cache, and don't see any
issues on a Nitrogen6x board (CSI camera).

I'm not sure what's different about my environment.

Not sure either, but are you testing with the parallel CSI or MIPI CSI camera?  
Could there be a difference in the how the drivers are loaded?

I tested using parallel CSI.

AFAIK, the driver load process is the same for both.

This was purely un-intentional. I think I was working with a build that
started with core-image-minimal.
