Subject: [RFC v5 03/15] media: Documentation: Reword split of sensor driver to two classes
Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2025 10:58:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250203085853.1361401-4-sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250203085853.1361401-1-sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com>
The sensor drivers do not configure the output size of the sensors but the
entire internal pipeline. Reflect this in the documentation.

+Sensor internal pipeline configuration
+--------------------------------------
-There are two distinct ways to configure the frame size produced by camera
-sensors.
+Camera sensors have an internal processing pipeline including cropping and
+binning functionality. The sensor drivers belong to two distinct classes, freely
+configurable and register list-based drivers, depending on how the driver
+configures this functionality.
