[PATCH v2 0/9] imx7/imx8mm media / csi patches

Hey everyone,

thanks for the feedback in v1.

Changes in v2:
* Switch back from bool to enum for distinguishing imx5/6 and imx7/8
* Added missing colorspace settings in PATCH 5
* Added PATCH 8 for hardening media-imx code

Below is theoriginal message slightly modified to match the v2 changes.

This is a set of patch for imx7 media drivers based on next-20220210. With
this set I was able to capture video frames from a MIPI CSI-2 camera in my
TQMa8MQML + MBA8MX hardware. The actual camera used is a Vision Components
'VC MIPI IMX327 C' camera. IMX327 is compatible to IMX290. Patch 9 shows the
DT overlay I'm using, not suitable for merging.
Please ignore the FPGA part, this is mainly for power supply and GPIO reset
line. This is currently a custom driver I'm working on, but I do not want to
focus on in this series.

Please note I tested this only on this imx8 platform.

First thanks to Dorota for the patchset at [1] (patches 1-4) which is necessary
to capture correct images.

Starting from patch 5 there are small fixes which allows me to configure my
media device.

Device configuration:
```
media-ctl -l "'imx290 2-001a':0->'csis-32e30000.mipi-csi':0 [1]"
media-ctl -V "'imx290 2-001a':0 [fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080 field:none colorspace:raw]"
media-ctl -V "'csi':0 [fmt:SRGGB10_1X10/1920x1080 field:none colorspace:raw]"
v4l2-ctl -d0 --set-fmt-video width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat='RG10',field=none
media-ctl -p
```

The media-ctl topology is:
```
# media-ctl -p
Media controller API version 5.17.0

```

Note: MIPI CSI settle times are not calculated correctly right now and need a
manual overwrite:
echo 13 > /sys/kernel/debug/32e30000.mipi-csi/ths_settle
echo 2 > /sys/kernel/debug/32e30000.mipi-csi/tclk_settle

I ignored the settings for xfer, ycbcr and quantization for now. I do neither
know how they will affect me nor what it should be.
Also I did not focus on v4l2-compliance tool, this is a further task as well.
IMHO imx7-mipi-csis.c should also create an immutable link to the camera
sensor.

Regards,
Alexander
