Hi Arash,

There is one (important) thing I overlooked last time: the list of
direct matches between mbus code and pixelformat only covers some of the
formats that the driver supports, but not all of them.
This is reflected in sun6i_csi_capture_link_validate, where we check
that a given mbus format set on the bridge is compatible with the
pixelformat set on the capture side.
I think we essentially have to extract that validation logic into a new
helper and then use it against all supported pixel formats for a given
mbus code to find out if that pixel format should be returned or not.
So it also means that multiple pixel formats can be supported for a given
mbus format.
A typical example of this would be MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUYV8_2X8 than can be
stored to either YUYV (raw mode), NV16/YUV422 (YUV mode, no resampling) or
NV12/YUV420 (YUV mode, 422 -> 420 resampling).
You're welcome to give it a try if you'd like or I could take a look at
this myself.
Also the first comment after the sun6i_csi_capture_format_matches
declaration should be "YUV422", not "YUV420" (would be good to fix it
while touching these parts).
All the best,
Paul
