# Short summary This patch series extends the Qualcomm CAMSS (Camera Subsystem), including CSID and CSIPHY components, to support C-PHY mode configuration.
# Background and motivation Modern smartphone cameras increasingly rely on MIPI C-PHY rather than D-PHY, thanks to its higher data throughput and signal efficiency. As a result, many OEMs adopt C-PHY interfaces for main (rear) cameras on Qualcomm-based devices. Until now, mainline Linux lacked C-PHY configuration support for Qualcomm chipsets, preventing bring-up of primary camera sensors on several Snapdragon platforms. This series closes that gap. - Introduces C-PHY configuration support for the CAMSS driver stack, covering both CSID and CSIPHY blocks. - Successfully enables C-PHY operation on the Snapdragon 845 platform. - Tested on OnePlus 6 and 6T phones running mainline Linux, using the Sony IMX519 main camera sensor. - The new configuration allows other chipsets versionsto enable C-PHY by simply adding corresponding sensor driver support and csiphy initialization data, following the example set for sdm845. With this patch series, mainline Linux gains working C-PHY support for Snapdragon 845, paving the way for improved main camera functionality across many Qualcomm-based devices. The groundwork also simplifies future enablement efforts for additional SoCs and sensors. Until merged, the series will be also available at: https://gitlab.com/sdm845/sdm845-next/-/commits/b4/qcom-cphy Signed-off-by: David Heidelberg <[email protected]> --- Changes in v2: - [NOTE] This is still WIP patch series, thus I wanted to publish already changed parts to get feedback regarding to the direction of patchset. [/NOTE] - When switch to using odd bits, zeroed val which was left unitialized in v1. - Accidentally missed archs added back in the commit moving lane regs to new location. - Remove commit with reverting check for only D-PHY is supported and adjusted the check to also account for C-PHY. - Documented link frequency calculation with defines. (Casey) - Changed the cphy boolean to phy_cfg enum in the camss/camss-csiphy. (Brian) - Added patch for csiphy-3ph enablement for sm7280 from Luca as I'm meanwhile trying to bring up the C-PHY sensor on FairPhone 5. - Merged these two commits together csiphy-3ph: Enable sdm845 C-PHY sequence csiphy-3ph: Add Gen2 v1.1 MIPI CSI-2 CPHY init merged R-b. - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] --- Casey Connolly (1): media: qcom: camss: csiphy-3ph: Add Gen2 v1.1 MIPI CSI-2 CPHY init David Heidelberg (5): media: qcom: camss: csiphy: Introduce PHY configuration media: qcom: camss: csiphy-3ph: Use odd bits for configuring C-PHY lanes media: qcom: camss: Prepare CSID for C-PHY support media: qcom: camss: csiphy-3ph: C-PHY needs own lane configuration media: qcom: camss: Account for C-PHY when calculating link frequency Luca Weiss (1): media: qcom: camss: csiphy-3ph: Add Gen2 v1.2.1 MIPI CSI-2 C-PHY init Petr Hodina (1): media: qcom: camss: Initialize lanes after lane configuration is available .../media/platform/qcom/camss/camss-csid-gen2.c | 1 + drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss-csid.c | 3 +- drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss-csid.h | 1 + .../platform/qcom/camss/camss-csiphy-3ph-1-0.c | 318 ++++++++++++++++++--- drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss-csiphy.c | 6 +- drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss-csiphy.h | 2 + drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss.c | 34 ++- drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss/camss.h | 2 +- 8 files changed, 312 insertions(+), 55 deletions(-) --- base-commit: bc04acf4aeca588496124a6cf54bfce3db327039 change-id: 20251109-qcom-cphy-bb8cbda1c644 Best regards, -- David Heidelberg <[email protected]>
