vimc uses Component API to split the driver into functional components. The real hardware resembles a monolith structure than component and component structure added a level of complexity making it hard to maintain without adding any real benefit. The sensor is one vimc component that would makes sense to be a separate module to closely align with the real hardware. It would be easier to collapse vimc into single monolithic driver first and then split the sensor off as a separate module.
This patch series emoves the component API and makes minimal changes to the code base preserving the functional division of the code structure. Preserving the functional structure allows us to split the sensor off as a separate module in the future. Major design elements in this change are: - Use existing struct vimc_ent_config and struct vimc_pipeline_config to drive the initialization of the functional components. - Make vimc_ent_config global by moving it to vimc.h - Add two new hooks add and rm to initialize and register, unregister and free subdevs. - All component API is now gone and bind and unbind hooks are modified to do "add" and "rm" with minimal changes to just add and rm subdevs. - vimc-core's bind and unbind are now register and unregister. - vimc-core invokes "add" hooks from its vimc_register_devices(). The "add" hooks remain the same and register subdevs. They don't create platform devices of their own and use vimc's pdev.dev as their reference device. The "add" hooks save their vimc_ent_device(s) in the corresponding vimc_ent_config. - vimc-core invokes "rm" hooks from its unregister to unregister subdevs and cleanup. - vimc-core invokes "add" and "rm" hooks with pointer to struct vimc_device and the corresponding struct vimc_ent_config pointer. The following configure and stream test works on all devices. media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer A":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Sensor B":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' media-ctl -d platform:vimc -V '"Debayer B":0[fmt:SBGGR8_1X8/640x480]' v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "RGB/YUV Capture" -v width=1920,height=1440 v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "Raw Capture 0" -v pixelformat=BA81 v4l2-ctl -z platform:vimc -d "Raw Capture 1" -v pixelformat=BA81 v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=100 -d /dev/video1 v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=100 -d /dev/video2 v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap --stream-count=100 -d /dev/video3 The third patch in the series fixes a general protection fault found when rmmod is done while stream is active. vimc_print_dot (--print-dot) topology after this change: digraph board { rankdir=TB n00000001 [label="{{} | Sensor A\n/dev/v4l-subdev0 | {<port0> 0}}", shape=Mrecord, style=filled, fillcolor=green] n00000001:port0 -> n00000005:port0 [style=bold] n00000001:port0 -> n0000000b [style=bold] n00000003 [label="{{} | Sensor B\n/dev/v4l-subdev1 | {<port0> 0}}", shape=Mrecord, style=filled, fillcolor=green] n00000003:port0 -> n00000008:port0 [style=bold] n00000003:port0 -> n0000000f [style=bold] n00000005 [label="{{<port0> 0} | Debayer A\n/dev/v4l-subdev2 | {<port1> 1}}", shape=Mrecord, style=filled, fillcolor=green] n00000005:port1 -> n00000015:port0 n00000008 [label="{{<port0> 0} | Debayer B\n/dev/v4l-subdev3 | {<port1> 1}}", shape=Mrecord, style=filled, fillcolor=green] n00000008:port1 -> n00000015:port0 [style=dashed] n0000000b [label="Raw Capture 0\n/dev/video1", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow] n0000000f [label="Raw Capture 1\n/dev/video2", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow] n00000013 [label="{{} | RGB/YUV Input\n/dev/v4l-subdev4 | {<port0> 0}}", shape=Mrecord, style=filled, fillcolor=green] n00000013:port0 -> n00000015:port0 [style=dashed] n00000015 [label="{{<port0> 0} | Scaler\n/dev/v4l-subdev5 | {<port1> 1}}", shape=Mrecord, style=filled, fillcolor=green] n00000015:port1 -> n00000018 [style=bold] n00000018 [label="RGB/YUV Capture\n/dev/video3", shape=box, style=filled, fillcolor=yellow] } Shuah Khan (3): media: vimc: move private defines to a common header media: vimc: Collapse component structure into a single monolithic driver media: vimc: Fix gpf in rmmod path when stream is active drivers/media/platform/vimc/Makefile | 7 +- drivers/media/platform/vimc/vimc-capture.c | 96 ++---------- drivers/media/platform/vimc/vimc-common.c | 2 +- drivers/media/platform/vimc/vimc-core.c | 174 +++++++-------------- drivers/media/platform/vimc/vimc-debayer.c | 84 ++-------- drivers/media/platform/vimc/vimc-scaler.c | 83 ++-------- drivers/media/platform/vimc/vimc-sensor.c | 82 ++-------- drivers/media/platform/vimc/vimc.h | 121 ++++++++++++++ 8 files changed, 230 insertions(+), 419 deletions(-) create mode 100644 drivers/media/platform/vimc/vimc.h -- 2.17.1
