If there's an interest, I can present a summary of the ISP development
efforts since the last media summit.

Title: Status of ISP support in V4L2

Description: Summary of ISP-related development in V4L2 since the last
Linux Media Summit. This includes a brief overview of technical
developments, and a summary of the efforts to engage with vendors.

Time estimate: 15 minutes


I would also like to revive efforts to properly support dmabuf import
for multi-planar formats with configurable plane offsets (a.k.a. data
offsets), but I think this requires a champion to resume the work more
than a discussion at the media summit.
