Subject: [PATCH 00/17] Rework frame descriptors
Date: Wed, 13 May 2026 13:43:41 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260513104358.2252605-1-sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com> (raw)
Hi folks,
This smallish set makes frame descriptors dynamically allocated and
implements a single-entry frame descriptor based on the device's format,
using a new helper called v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc(). All drivers that
do not obtain their frame descriptor from upstream are converted. The
helper also obtains a frame descriptor for the desired type (parallel or
CSI-2) and checks there's at least one entry there. These checks are
removed from drivers that currently perform them. (Some drivers also check
there's exactly a single frame descriptor entry but I think in most cases
this check could be loosened. That could be done after this set.)
On callee side these patches introduce no changes as the number of
pre-allocated memory for 8 frame descriptors remains as-is. The
get_frame_desc() pad op can return more than 8 frame descriptors by
setting the num_entries to the desired number and returning -ENOSPC.
If people prefer using cleanup.h / __free() to release the dynamically
allocated array (I think I'd almost require that), I'll merge the
now-separate __v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc() into
v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc().
More formats can be added to df-to-mbus conversion as needed. These are
meant to be initial formats that are enough for typical raw sensors (and
one RGB format, too).
