[PATCH v2 0/4] arm64: dts: renesas: Enable ISP and IVC on RZ/V2H EVK

[Linus Walleij]

Describe the optional ISP DMA line-tick and IVC frame-start/frame-stop
interrupts. Add the RZ/V2H(P) IVC and Arm Mali-C55 ISP nodes, connect their
video endpoints, and enable both blocks on the RZ/V2H EVK.

After these patches, and enabling the right Linux drivers, we get
this in the console:
mali-c55 16080000.isp: Detected Mali-C55 ISP 9000043.31032022.0

This was done in order to enable booting mainline with mainline
device trees.

Changes in v2:
- Add separate IVC and ISP binding patches describing the optional IVC
  frame-start/frame-stop completion and ISP DMA line-tick IRQs.
  Show all six IRQs in the examples using consecutive mock numbers.
- Add the IVC frame-start/stop and ISP DMA line-tick interrupt lines
  using the confirmed SPI assignments, addressing Geert's IRQ review.
- Correct the IVC and ISP register sizes to 64 KiB and 512 KiB,
  respectively, as requested by Geert. GPV_VIDEO0 is a separate bus
  interconnect region.
- Compact the clock and reset properties and remove blank lines between
  properties, following Geert's review.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260922-mali-c55-renesas-dts-v1-0-cd63cdb51033@kernel.org

[PATCH v2 1/4] dt-bindings: media: renesas,r9a09g057-ivc: Describe additional interrupts

[Linus Walleij]

The RZ/V2H IVC provides input frame-start and frame-stop completion
interrupts alongside its input frame-end interrupt.

Describe these optional interrupts, keeping frame end first and requiring
only that entry to preserve support for existing device trees. Extend the
example to show all three interrupts using mock interrupt numbers.

[PATCH v2 2/4] dt-bindings: media: arm,mali-c55: Describe DMA line-tick interrupts

[Linus Walleij]

Mali-C55 exposes separate full-resolution and UV DMA writer line-tick
interrupts in addition to its combined core interrupt.

Describe these optional interrupts, keeping the core interrupt first and
requiring only that entry to preserve support for existing device trees.

Hm I managed to send out the v2 series before re-checking the mailing
list for more comments, sorry :(

Maybe Geert can augment when applying, else I can send a v3.

This can also be dropped when applying.

I am kind of over-reporting LLM use because I absolutely don't want
people to get wrong information here, and the tag is a kind of
all-encompassing.

What I actually use it for is pretty silly: I use an LLM to query the
datasheets for information, the rest is mostly done interactively,
but well, it was used, like I use the evince PDF reader but that
we don't have an Assisted-by tag for.

[Severity: High]
Does this node need a power-domains property?

The isp node appears to omit power-domains = <&cpg>;. On Renesas SoCs, this
property attaches the device to the Clock Pulse Generator (CPG) generic power
domain, which is responsible for clearing the BUS_MSTOP bits during
pm_runtime_resume. 

Without it, pm_runtime_resume_and_get() in the driver might not trigger the
genpd domain hooks to clear MSTOP, which could cause register accesses to hang
the bus or leave the hardware inaccessible.

> +			clock-names = "vclk", "aclk", "hclk";

[Severity: High]
Are the vclk and hclk clock mappings swapped here?

The arm,mali-c55 driver expects vclk to be the video clock and hclk to be the
AHB register clock. Here, vclk is assigned to CPG_MOD 0xe2 (isp_0_reg_aclk)
and hclk is assigned to CPG_MOD 0xe5 (isp_0_isp_sclk). 

This appears to reverse their roles and could cause the driver to configure
the wrong clock frequencies.

[Severity: High]
Are the vresetn and hresetn reset mappings also swapped?

Similar to the clocks, this maps the register reset (0xd2 ISP_0_REG_ARESETN)
to vresetn and the ISP video reset (0xd3) to hresetn. This could lead to
reset domains being incorrectly managed, resulting in hardware initialization
failures.
