Subject: [PATCH v3] media: ipu-bridge: do not use the CVS device lookup for IVSC
Date: Wed,  2 Sep 2026 22:15:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260902211524.5572-1-gvozdoder@gmail.com> (raw)

Since commit c6b1b34b5090 ("media: pci: intel: Add CVS support for IPU
bridge driver") the internal camera no longer works on laptops where the
sensor sits behind an IVSC, for example a Dell XPS 16 9640 (IPU6,
INTC10CF, ov02c10):

  intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Found supported sensor OVTI02C1:00
  intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Connected 1 cameras
  ivsc_csi intel_vsc-92335fcf-3203-4472-af93-7b4453ac29da: mei-csi probed
      without device fwnode!

No sensor subdevice is registered, the media graph has no sensor entity
and userspace finds no camera at all.

ipu_bridge_get_ivsc_csi_dev() first looks for the platform device named
"intel_vsc" and returns its mei-csi child. That device is created by
mei_vsc, which on this machine only appears once the LJCA USB bridge and
its SPI controller have probed, about a second after the IPU6 probe that
runs the bridge:

  07:59:29.297  platform INTC10CF:00 created (ACPI scan)
  07:59:41      intel-ipu6 probe -> ipu_bridge_init()
  07:59:42.391  platform intel_vsc created (mei_vsc)

The commit above added two fallbacks for CVS which match on the ACPI
companion alone. They are reached for every entry of ivsc_acpi_ids[],
IVSC IDs included. The IVSC ACPI device has two physical nodes:

  INTC10CF:00/physical_node  -> platform/INTC10CF:00  (no driver bound)
  INTC10CF:00/physical_node1 -> platform/intel_vsc    (mei_vsc)

so bus_find_device_by_acpi_dev(&platform_bus_type, adev) returns the bare
platform device. ipu_bridge_instantiate_ivsc() then attaches the IVSC
software node to that device instead of to the mei-csi client, the bridge
reports success, and the probe is never retried. mei_csi later probes
without a fwnode, the CSI-2 link is never described, and the sensor ACPI
device, which has an honoured _DEP on the IVSC device, is never
enumerated.

Before those fallbacks existed the lookup returned NULL here, the bridge
failed with -ENODEV and the probe was retried once the IVSC device had
shown up.

Skip those fallbacks for IVSC devices, keying on the IVSC IDs rather than
the CVS ones: new CVS IDs keep being added, whereas the IVSC list is
complete. CVS binds a driver to the ACPI device itself, so matching on the
companion stays unambiguous there.

Changes since v2:
- Match the IVSC IDs rather than the CVS ones, as Sakari suggested: new CVS
  IDs keep being added (INTC10FA arrived after v7.2), whereas the IVSC list
  is complete, so keying on IVSC does not rot.
- Drop the ipu_bridge_is_cvs_dev() helper introduced in v2 and go back to
  the flat condition of v1.

Changes since v1:
- v2 wrapped the ACPI ID match in a helper for readability. Superseded by
  the above.

Not addressed here: separating the CVS and IVSC parsing so that no CVS
fallback is needed at all. That looks like a separate series rather than
part of this fix.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20260901195036.7648-1-gvozdoder@gmail.com/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20260902145440.1786297-1-gvozdoder@gmail.com/

The functional testing below was done with v1 on the affected machine (Dell
XPS 16 9640, IPU6 + IVSC + ov02c10) on top of 7.2.2, where
drivers/media/pci/intel/ipu-bridge.c is byte-identical to v7.2. v3 changes
which ID list the condition keys on, so it was rebuilt and booted again on
the same machine with the same results. Without the patch libcamera finds
no camera at all; with it:

  $ cam -l
  1: Internal front camera (\_SB_.PC00.LNK1)

  $ cam -c1 --capture=5
  202.794954 (30.05 fps) cam0-stream0 seq: 000003 bytesused: 8386560
  202.828224 (30.06 fps) cam0-stream0 seq: 000004 bytesused: 8386560

The media graph gains the entities that were missing:

  - entity 349: Intel IVSC CSI (2 pads, 2 links, 0 routes)
  - entity 368: ov02c10 21-0036 (1 pad, 1 link, 0 routes)

and the restored retry is visible in dmesg:

  pci 0000:00:05.0: deferred probe pending: intel-ipu6: IPU6 bridge init failed
  intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Found supported sensor OVTI02C1:00
  intel-ipu6 0000:00:05.0: Connected 1 cameras

"mei-csi probed without device fwnode!" is gone, ov02c10 binds to
i2c-OVTI02C1:00, and eight v4l-subdev nodes appear.

This patch is against v7.3-rc1. The version tested on 7.2.2 is the same
change; 7.2.x has no INTC10FA in ivsc_acpi_ids[], which does not affect the
IVSC list this patch adds. Building with W=1 produces no new warnings.

Not covered: I have no CVS hardware, so the CVS path is only reasoned
about, not tested, and I have not booted v7.3-rc1 itself.

This patch was produced with the help of an AI coding assistant; see the
Assisted-by tag above and Documentation/process/generated-content.rst.
