Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.17-6.6] media: ov08x40: Fix the horizontal flip control
Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2025 11:54:59 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251025160905.3857885-68-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251025160905.3857885-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Hao Yao <hao.yao@intel.com>
[ Upstream commit c7df6f339af94689fdc433887f9fbb480bf8a4ed ]
The datasheet of ov08x40 doesn't match the hardware behavior.
0x3821[2] == 1 is the original state and 0 the horizontal flip enabled.

LLM Generated explanations, may be completely bogus:
YES
- What it fixes: The horizontal flip (HFLIP) control polarity was wrong
for the OV08X40 sensor. Hardware enables H-mirror when bit 2 of
register 0x3821 is cleared, but the driver treated setting the bit as
“flip on”. The fix inverts this polarity so V4L2_CID_HFLIP now matches
actual hardware behavior.
- Precise change: In `ov08x40_set_ctrl_hflip()`, the write toggling
`OV08X40_REG_MIRROR` bit 2 is flipped:
- Before: `ctrl_val ? val | BIT(2) : val & ~BIT(2)`
- After: `ctrl_val ? val & ~BIT(2) : val | BIT(2)`
- Location: drivers/media/i2c/ov08x40.c:1651
- Scope and containment:
- Only one line in a single driver file is changed:
`drivers/media/i2c/ov08x40.c`.
- The function reads the current register value first and only changes
bit 2, preserving other bits (drivers/media/i2c/ov08x40.c:1646,
1651).
- Vertical flip handling remains unchanged and continues to set bit 2
of 0x3820 when enabled (drivers/media/i2c/ov08x40.c:1666), showing
the change is isolated to HFLIP.
- The HFLIP control is wired through the standard control path
(`ov08x40_set_ctrl()` case V4L2_CID_HFLIP →
`ov08x40_set_ctrl_hflip()`, drivers/media/i2c/ov08x40.c:1735) and
HFLIP is created as a standard V4L2 control
(drivers/media/i2c/ov08x40.c:2153).
- User impact: Without this fix, user-space sees inverted behavior for
HFLIP (enabling the control does not produce the expected mirror),
which is a clear functional bug affecting image orientation and any
applications relying on correct orientation metadata/control.
- Risk assessment:
- Minimal risk: a single-bit polarity correction in a register write,
no ABI/API change, no architectural changes, and constrained to the
ov08x40 driver.
- Safe behavior: other bits are preserved; change is applied only when
the device is powered/streaming via existing PM checks.
- Real-world validation: Reviewed and Tested-by are present, including
testing on ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12/13, which reduces regression
risk.
This is a small, targeted, and user-visible bugfix that aligns with
stable backporting rules and should be backported.
