[PATCH] media: ov5693: add OVTI5693 ACPI HID for IPU6 Surface devices

[Fernando Rimoli]

The ov5693 driver only matches the "INT33BE" ACPI HID. Some Intel IPU6
Surface devices (e.g. Microsoft Surface Pro 9) enumerate the same OV5693
front camera with the ACPI HID "OVTI5693" instead. Without this HID the
i2c core never binds the driver, and the IPU bridge never builds the
firmware node graph for the sensor, so the front camera is unusable.

Add "OVTI5693" to the sensor driver's ACPI match table and to the IPU
bridge's supported-sensor list. The link frequency (419200000) matches
the existing INT33BE entry, as it is the same sensor. Devices that use
"INT33BE" (e.g. Surface Go 4) are unaffected.

Tested on Surface Pro 9 (IPU6): the sensor enumerates as OVTI5693:00
(ACPI path \_SB_.PC00.I2C3.CAMF) and binds with this change.

Note: this HID addition makes the sensor bind and enumerate, but a fully
working front camera on IPU6 also requires programming MIPI_CTRL00
(0x4800 = 0x2d) before stream-on, otherwise the IPU6 CSI-2 receiver never
locks and capture times out. That register change is being handled
separately (see the Link: above). This patch is independent and useful on
its own for enumeration, so I'm sending it standalone; happy to reorder if
you'd prefer it after the register fix.

Standalone is fine :)

Could you split this into two, once for each?

Have you tested other values for 0x4800? Besides IPU3 (CIO2), the sensor is
used on a Rockchip board, so changing the settings needs to be done with
care.

If you haven't, I'd be interested to know how 0x04 works -- it should be a
safe change (LP00 -> LP11 in idle). If not, then testing other individual
bits would be useful as well; hopefully changing one bit makes a
difference.

[PATCH v2 0/3] media: Enable the OV5693 front camera on IPU6 Surface devices

[Fernando Rimoli]

Apologies for the slow turnaround on v2, I wanted to properly
characterise the MIPI_CTRL00 register before answering, and I was
coordinating with Arsalan Naeem, who originally found the register write
(linux-surface PR#2171); the third patch is co-developed with him.

This enables the OV5693 front camera on Intel IPU6 Surface devices such as
the Microsoft Surface Pro 9. Three independent pieces are needed on a stock
kernel:

  1/3  ov5693: add the "OVTI5693" ACPI HID so the i2c core binds the driver
       (these devices enumerate the sensor as OVTI5693, not INT33BE).
  2/3  ipu-bridge: add the same HID so the bridge builds the sensor's fwnode
       graph.
  3/3  ov5693: gate the MIPI clock lane, which the IPU6 CSI-2 receiver needs
       in order to lock (this is the register write from PR#2171).

On the MIPI_CTRL00 value, in reply to Sakari's question on v1:

I swept the register on a Surface Pro 9 (IPU6) with read-back. The power-on
default reads 0x00. Every value with bit 5 (clock-lane gate) set streams
(300/300 frames, steady ~28 fps); every value with bit 5 clear, including
0x00 and 0x04 (LP11-idle alone), fails with "stream stop time out" and no
frames. So bit 5 is the decisive bit for IPU6, and 0x04 alone is not enough.
Bit 5 is not an IPU6-specific hack: ov5640, ov5647 and ov5648 all gate the
clock lane on every platform. Patch 3 sets bit 5 plus bit 2 (LP11-idle,
i.e. 0x24, matching ov5640's value); I have only been able to test this on
IPU6, not on IPU3 (CIO2) or Rockchip, so I have kept it to the conventional
OV-family bits rather than the vendor's 0x2d (which also sets bit 3 and an
undocumented bit 0).

Patches 1-2 are independent of patch 3 and useful on their own for
enumeration; patch 1 carries Dan Scally's Reviewed-by from v1.

Changes since v1 [1]:
- Split the single v1 patch into the two HID patches (1/3, 2/3), as
  requested by Sakari.
- Added patch 3/3, the MIPI clock-lane gate, co-developed with Arsalan
  Naeem, with the characterisation above answering Sakari's v1 question.
- Carried Daniel Scally's Reviewed-by on patch 1/3.
- Used named bit macros instead of a bare register value.

[PATCH v2 2/3] media: ipu-bridge: Add OVTI5693 to the list of supported sensors

[Fernando Rimoli]

The IPU bridge builds the firmware node graph only for sensors listed in
ipu_supported_sensors[]. The OV5693 is currently listed only under its
legacy "INT33BE" HID, so on Intel IPU6 Surface devices that enumerate it
as "OVTI5693" (e.g. Microsoft Surface Pro 9) the bridge never wires up
the sensor and the front camera is unusable.

Add an "OVTI5693" entry. The link frequency (419200000) matches the
existing INT33BE entry, as it is the same sensor.

Tested on Surface Pro 9 (IPU6).

[PATCH v2 3/3] media: i2c: ov5693: Gate the MIPI clock lane for IPU6

[Fernando Rimoli]

The ov5693 never programs MIPI_CTRL00 (0x4800), leaving it at its 0x00
power-on default (free-running MIPI clock). The IPU3 CSI-2 receiver
tolerates this, but the IPU6 receiver (e.g. on Microsoft Surface Pro 8/9
and Surface Go 4) fails to lock onto the link, so the sensor streams but
capture times out with "stream stop time out" and no frames arrive.

Gating the clock lane when idle (MIPI_CTRL00 bit 5) makes the IPU6
receiver lock. This was determined by sweeping the register on a Surface
Pro 9 (IPU6): every value with bit 5 set streams (300/300 frames, steady
28 fps), every value with bit 5 clear fails with the CSI-2 timeout;
register read-back confirmed the power-on default is 0x00. Bit 5 is the
conventional OmniVision clock-lane-gate setting (ov5640, ov5647 and
ov5648 all set it on every platform), so it is not an IPU6-specific hack.
Bit 2 (bus idle in LP11) is set as well, matching ov5640's value; this
was tested only on IPU6.

Confirmed on the Microsoft Surface Pro 7+ (Tiger Lake IPU6). 
Its front ov5693 enumerates as INT33BE, so just patch 3 seems relevant. 
With the unpatched driver, only 1/20 cold opens delivered frames, 
the rest timed out with zero frames. With this patch applied, 20/20 
streamed at ~28-29 fps. 

Tested-by: Jakob Berg Jespersen <dev@berg.pm>

This configuration should in fact be dependent on "clock-noncontinuous"
property; parsing the endpoint sets V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_NONCONTINUOUS_CLOCK
flag when the property is present.

Could you use that in v3?

The interesting question is then why are other sensors working with IPU6
just fine without this? In general, the non-contiguous clock mode is
something you enable explicitly and enabling it shouldn't make anything
work but possibly you could save a little bit of power.

It looks like drivers used with IPUs generally don't even support
non-continuous clock mode. Ov2740 (on Thinkpads with IPU6) has similar
configuration but there the same register is written 0, i.e. free running
clock lane). Different IPU6 variants do have different PHYs though, so this
could be the reason here.

The ipu-bridge needs to set the property, too. I think this needs to be
enabled only for the IPU6 variant in question (I'd just check the PCI ID;
those are found in include/media/ipu6-pci-table.h).

[PATCH v3 0/4] media: Enable the OV5693 front camera on IPU6 Surface devices

[Fernando Rimoli]

This enables the OV5693 front camera on Intel IPU6 Surface devices such as
the Microsoft Surface Pro 9. Four pieces are needed on a stock kernel:

  1/4  ov5693: add the "OVTI5693" ACPI HID so the i2c core binds the driver
       (these devices enumerate the sensor as OVTI5693, not INT33BE).
  2/4  ipu-bridge: add the same HID so the bridge builds the sensor's fwnode
       graph.
  3/4  ov5693: gate the MIPI clock lane when the endpoint requests a
       non-continuous clock, which the IPU6 CSI-2 receiver needs to lock.
  4/4  ipu-bridge: request the non-continuous clock for the ov5693, but only
       on IPU6 (matched against ipu6_pci_tbl).

v3 reworks the clock-lane gate per Sakari's review of v2: instead of writing
MIPI_CTRL00 unconditionally, the sensor now gates the clock lane only when
the "clock-noncontinuous" endpoint property is present (the
V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_NONCONTINUOUS_CLOCK flag), the same way ov5647 does, and the
ipu-bridge supplies that property, gated on the IPU6 PCI IDs. The property is
set only for the ov5693 HIDs and only when the bridge sits on a PCI device
matching ipu6_pci_tbl, so IPU3 users of the same sensor and the non-PCI IVSC
bridge path are left untouched. I scoped it to all ipu6_pci_tbl IDs since the
gate is confirmed needed across two IPU6 generations (see below), happy to
narrow it to specific IDs if you would prefer.

On the register value: unlike ov5647, patch 3 sets bit 5 (clock-lane gate)
and bit 2 (LP11 idle) but not bit 4 (line sync). I re-swept the register at
runtime on my Surface Pro 9 (IPU6) to check bit 4 specifically: 0x24
(bit5+bit2) streams 300/300 frames at ~28 fps, but adding bit 4 (i.e.
ov5647's 0x34) collapses the stream to a couple of frames, and bit 4 alone
fails outright. A bit5-only value recovered to 300/300 in the same run, so
this is a value effect. This matches your point that the IPU6 PHYs differ
(ov2740 writes this register to 0 on Thinkpad IPU6), the ov5693 on IPU6
wants exactly bit5+bit2. Register read-back confirmed the power-on default
is 0x00.

Patches 1-2 are independent and useful on their own for enumeration; patch 1
carries Dan Scally's Reviewed-by from v1.

Changes since v2 [1]:
- Reworked patch 3: gate the MIPI clock lane on the "clock-noncontinuous"
  endpoint property (V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_NONCONTINUOUS_CLOCK) rather than writing
  MIPI_CTRL00 unconditionally, following ov5647. When the flag is absent the
  register is left at its reset default (IPU3 and others unaffected).
- New patch 4: ipu-bridge sets "clock-noncontinuous" for the ov5693, gated on
  the IPU6 PCI IDs (ipu6_pci_tbl), skipping non-PCI bridge instances.
- Characterised bit 4 (line sync) on IPU6 and documented why the value stays
  bit5+bit2, differing from ov5647.
- Patch 3 was reworked but is functionally identical on tested hardware (the
  same register value is written whenever the bridge sets the property), so I
  kept Jakob Berg Jespersen's Tested-by; Jakob, please shout if you would
  rather re-test v3.

The two IPU6 units the gate has been tested on: Surface Pro 9 (IPU6EP_ADLP,
0x465d) and, via Jakob, Surface Pro 7+ (IPU6, Tiger Lake, 0x9a19).

[PATCH v3 1/4] media: i2c: ov5693: Add OVTI5693 ACPI HID

[Fernando Rimoli]

The ov5693 driver only matches the "INT33BE" ACPI HID. Some Intel IPU6
Surface devices (e.g. Microsoft Surface Pro 9) enumerate the OV5693
front camera with the ACPI HID "OVTI5693" instead, so the i2c core never
binds the driver.

Add "OVTI5693" to the ACPI match table. Devices that use "INT33BE"
(e.g. Surface Go 4) are unaffected.

Tested on Surface Pro 9 (IPU6): the sensor enumerates as OVTI5693:00
(ACPI path \_SB_.PC00.I2C3.CAMF) and binds with this change.

[PATCH v3 2/4] media: ipu-bridge: Add OVTI5693 to the list of supported sensors

[Fernando Rimoli]

The IPU bridge builds the firmware node graph only for sensors listed in
ipu_supported_sensors[]. The OV5693 is currently listed only under its
legacy "INT33BE" HID, so on Intel IPU6 Surface devices that enumerate it
as "OVTI5693" (e.g. Microsoft Surface Pro 9) the bridge never wires up
the sensor and the front camera is unusable.

Add an "OVTI5693" entry. The link frequency (419200000) matches the
existing INT33BE entry, as it is the same sensor.

Tested on Surface Pro 9 (IPU6).

[PATCH v3 3/4] media: i2c: ov5693: Gate the MIPI clock lane for non-continuous clock

[Fernando Rimoli]

The ov5693 never programs MIPI_CTRL00 (0x4800), leaving it at its 0x00
power-on default (free-running MIPI clock). The IPU3 CSI-2 receiver
tolerates this, but the IPU6 receiver (e.g. on Microsoft Surface Pro 8/9
and Surface Go 4) fails to lock onto the link, so the sensor streams but
capture times out with "stream stop time out" and no frames arrive.

Parse the "clock-noncontinuous" endpoint property (which sets the
V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_NONCONTINUOUS_CLOCK flag) and, when it is present, gate
the clock lane while idle (bit 5) and keep the bus in LP11 (bit 2) at
stream on, matching the approach ov5647 already uses for the same
register. When the flag is absent the register is left at its reset
default, so IPU3 and other users are unaffected.

Gating the clock lane was determined to be necessary and sufficient by
sweeping the register at runtime on a Surface Pro 9 (IPU6): every value
with bit 5 set streams (300/300 frames, steady 28 fps), every value with
bit 5 clear fails with the CSI-2 timeout; register read-back confirmed
the power-on default is 0x00. Bit 2 (bus idle in LP11) is set as well,
matching ov5640's value. Note that unlike ov5647 the line-sync bit
(bit 4) is deliberately not set: adding it collapses the IPU6 stream to
a couple of frames, so this value differs from ov5647's - the IPU6 D-PHY
behaves differently, consistent with these settings being PHY-specific.

The "clock-noncontinuous" property is supplied by the ipu-bridge for the
affected IPU6 variants in a subsequent patch.

[PATCH v3 4/4] media: ipu-bridge: Request non-continuous clock for ov5693 on IPU6

[Fernando Rimoli]

The ov5693 (INT33BE / OVTI5693) needs its MIPI clock lane gated while
idle for the IPU6 CSI-2 receiver to lock onto the link; otherwise the
sensor streams but capture times out and no frames arrive. The sensor
driver gates the clock lane when the endpoint requests a non-continuous
clock, so the bridge has to supply that property.

The same sensor works with a free-running clock on the IPU3, and other
sensors are unaffected, so add the "clock-noncontinuous" endpoint
property only for the ov5693 and only when the bridge sits on an IPU6
(matched against ipu6_pci_tbl). Non-PCI bridge instances (e.g. the IVSC
mei_csi path) are skipped.

Hm, I think this is functionally fine, but matching on PCI ID and sensor does seem a bit quirky...do 
you know if the IPU3 case is fine with the clock-noncontinuous flag too? If not I can test it tomorrow.

Thanks
Dan

Re: [PATCH v3 4/4] media: ipu-bridge: Request non-continuous clock for ov5693 on IPU6

[Fernando Rimoli]

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reviews on 1-3.

You're right that keying on both the PCI ID and the sensor is a bit awkward. My
reasoning for scoping it that tightly was caution rather than a known IPU3
failure: I only have IPU6 hardware (Surface Pro 9), so I couldn't confirm that
gating the ov5693's clock lane is safe on the IPU3 CSI-2 receiver, and I didn't
want to risk regressing the existing cio2 + ov5693 users (the INT33BE Surface
Pro/Book devices) that work today with the free-running default.

For what it's worth, from the receiver side IPU3 looks agnostic to the flag:
ipu3-cio2 only consumes bus.mipi_csi2.num_data_lanes from the parsed endpoint
and programs its D-PHY Rx timing (clk_termen/clk_settle) the same way regardless
of V4L2_MBUS_CSI2_NONCONTINUOUS_CLOCK, it never looks at that flag. So the open
question is purely sensor-side: whether the ov5693 idling its clock lane in LP11
(bit 5) upsets the cio2 D-PHY's lock. I can't answer that without IPU3 hardware.

If your test tomorrow shows cio2 + ov5693 still streams fine with
clock-noncontinuous set, I'm happy to drop the ipu6_pci_tbl check entirely and
just request the property for the ov5693 unconditionally in v4 which removes
the PCI quirk and is much cleaner. (The sensor-driver side already no-ops when
the flag is absent, so nothing else needs to change.)

If it turns out IPU3 doesn't like it, then the PCI gate is doing real work and
I'd keep it, but I can add a comment making that rationale explicit.

Either way I'll respin once we know. Thanks a lot for offering to test on IPU3,
that's the one platform I can't cover.

Thanks,
Fernando
