[PATCH v8 0/8] Add strobe duration and strobe output enable v4l2 ctrl

[PATCH v8 0/8] Add strobe duration and strobe output enable v4l2 ctrl

[Richard Leitner]

This series adds two new v4l2 controls:
- V4L2_CID_FLASH_DURATION: "Strobe duration": This control enables
  setting a desired flash/strobe length/duration in µs.
- V4L2_CID_FLASH_STROBE_OE: "Strobe output enable": This
  control enables the hardware strobe output signal of a v4l2 device.

As a first user of these new controls add basic flash/strobe support
for ov9282 sensors using their "hardware strobe output". The duration
calculation is only interpolated from various measurements, as no
documentation was found.

Further flash/strobe-related controls as well as a migration to v4l2-cci
helpers for ov9282 will likely be implemented in future series.

All register addresses/values are based on the OV9281 datasheet v1.53
(january 2019). This series was tested using an ov9281 VisionComponents
camera module.

[PATCH v8 1/8] media: v4l: ctrls: add a control for flash/strobe duration

[Richard Leitner]

Add a V4L2_CID_FLASH_DURATION control to set the duration of a
flash/strobe pulse. This controls the length of the flash/strobe pulse
output by device (typically a camera sensor) and connected to the flash
controller. This is different to the V4L2_CID_FLASH_TIMEOUT control,
which is implemented by the flash controller and defines a limit after
which the flash is "forcefully" turned off again.

[PATCH v8 4/8] media: i2c: ov9282: add output enable register definitions

[Richard Leitner]

Add #define's for the output enable registers (0x3004, 0x3005, 0x3006),
also known as SC_CTRL_04, SC_CTRL_05, SC_CTRL_04. Use those register
definitions instead of the raw values in the `common_regs` struct.

All values are based on the OV9281 datasheet v1.53 (january 2019).

[PATCH v8 6/8] media: i2c: ov9282: add strobe_duration v4l2 control

[Richard Leitner]

Add V4L2_CID_FLASH_DURATION support using the "strobe_frame_span"
feature of the sensor. This is implemented by transforming the given µs
value by an interpolated formula to a "span step width" value and
writing it to register PWM_CTRL_25, PWM_CTRL_26, PWM_CTRL_27,
PWM_CTRL_28 (0x3925, 0x3926, 0x3927, 0x3928).

The maximum control value is set to the period of the current default
framerate.

All register values are based on the OV9281 datasheet v1.53 (jan 2019)
and tested using an ov9281 VisionComponents module.

[PATCH v8 7/8] media: i2c: ov9282: implement try_ctrl for strobe_duration

[Richard Leitner]

As the granularity of the hardware supported values is lower than the
control value, implement a try_ctrl() function for
V4L2_CID_FLASH_DURATION. This function calculates the nearest possible
µs strobe duration for the given value and returns it back to the
caller.

[PATCH v8 8/8] media: i2c: ov9282: dynamic flash_duration maximum

[Richard Leitner]

This patch sets the current exposure time as maximum for the
flash_duration control. As Flash/Strobes which are longer than the
exposure time have no effect.
