[PATCH 0/3] media: Add MIPI CCI register access helper functions

[Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com>]

Hi Laurent, Sakari, et al.,

The CSI2 specification specifies a standard method to access camera sensor
registers called "Camera Control Interface (CCI)".

Currently a lot of Linux camera sensor drivers all have their own custom
helpers for this, often copy and pasted from other drivers.

This adds a set of generic helpers for this so that all sensor drivers can
switch to a single common implementation.

This is based on / the result of our previous discussion on this here:
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/59aefa7f-7bf9-6736-6040-39551329cd0a@redhat.com/

Patch 2/3 is an example of how these helpers can be used and 3/3 removes
the now no longer necessary ov_16bit_addr_reg_helpers.h which was
the previous attempt to add common CCI access helpers. As such
patch 2/3 and 3/3 are more of a RFC really. Please focus on reviewing
patch 1/3.

Regards,

Hans
