[RFC 0/2] BCM283x Camera Receiver driver

[Dave Stevenson <dave.stevenson@raspberrypi.org>]

Hi All.

This is adding a V4L2 subdevice driver for the CSI2/CCP2 camera
receiver peripheral on BCM283x, as used on Raspberry Pi.

v4l2-compliance results depend on the sensor subdevice this is
connected to. It passes the basic tests cleanly with TC358743,
but objects with OV5647
fail: v4l2-test-controls.cpp(574): g_ext_ctrls does not support count == 0
Neither OV5647 nor Unicam support any controls.

I must admit to not having got OV5647 to stream with the current driver
register settings. It works with a set of register settings for VGA RAW10.
I also have a couple of patches pending for OV5647, but would like to
understand the issues better before sending them out.

Two queries I do have in V4L2-land:
- When s_dv_timings or s_std is called, is the format meant to
  be updated automatically? Even if we're already streaming?
  Some existing drivers seem to, but others don't.
- With s_fmt, is sizeimage settable by the application in the same
  way as bytesperline? yavta allows you to specify it on the command
  line, whilst v4l2-ctl doesn't. Some of the other parts of the Pi
  firmware have a requirement that the buffer is a multiple of 16 lines
  high, which can be matched by V4L2 if we can over-allocate the
  buffers by the app specifying sizeimage. But if I allow that,
  then I get a v4l2-compliance failure as the size doesn't get
  reset when switching from RGB3 to UYVY as it takes the request as
  a request to over-allocate.

Apologies if I've messed up in sending these patches - so many ways
to do something.

Thanks in advance.
  Dave
