How generic is this? Should we have e.g. nokia,video-bus-switch? And
if so, change the file name accordingly.
Generic for "single GPIO controls the switch", AFAICT. But that should
be common enough...
Um, yes. Then... how about: video-bus-switch-gpio? No Nokia prefix.
Ok, done. I also fixed the english a bit.
+reg: The interface:
+ 0 - port for image signal processor
+ 1 - port for first camera sensor
+ 2 - port for second camera sensor
I'd say this must be pretty much specific to the one in N900. You
could have more ports. Or you could say that ports beyond 0 are
camera sensors. I guess this is good enough for now though, it can be
changed later on with the source if a need arises.
Well, I'd say that selecting between two sensors is going to be the
common case. If someone needs more than two, it will no longer be
simple GPIO, so we'll have some fixing to do.
It could be two GPIOs --- that's how the GPIO I2C mux works.
But I'd be surprised if someone ever uses something like that
again. ;-)
I'd say.. lets handle that when we see hardware like that.
Btw. was it still considered a problem that the endpoint properties
for the sensors can be different? With the g_routing() pad op which is
to be added, the ISP driver (should actually go to a framework
somewhere) could parse the graph and find the proper endpoint there.
I don't know about g_routing. I added g_endpoint_config method that
passes the configuration, and that seems to work for me.
I don't see g_routing in next-20170201 . Is there place to look?
I think there was a patch by Laurent to LMML quite some time ago. I
suppose that set will be repicked soonish.
I don't really object using g_endpoint_config() as a temporary solution;
I'd like to have Laurent's opinion on that though. Another option is to
wait, but we've already waited a looong time (as in total).
Laurent, do you have some input here? We have simple "2 cameras
connected to one signal processor" situation here. We need some way of
passing endpoint configuration from the sensors through the switch. I
did this:
Could you give me a bit more information about the platform you're targeting:
how the switch is connected, what kind of switch it is, and what endpoint
http://plan9.stanleylieber.com/hardware/n900/n900.schematics.pdf, on
page 2, see N5801 and N5802.
configuration data you need ?

The functionality is still the same, isn't it? Does it change what it is if the frequency might be 100 Hz or 0,01 Hz? I was a bit annoyed for having to have two drivers for switching the source (one for GPIO, another for syscon / register), where both of the drivers would be essentially the same with the minor exception of having a slightly different means to toggle the mux setting. The MUX framework adds an API for controlling the MUX. Thus we'll need only a single driver that uses the MUX framework API for V4L2. As an added bonus, V4L2 would be in line with the rest of the MUX usage in the kernel. The set appears to already contain a GPIO MUX. What's needed would be to use the MUX API instead of direct GPIOs usage. -- Kind regards, Sakari Ailus e-mail: sakari.ai...@iki.fi XMPP: sai...@retiisi.org.uk -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Yeah, that's where it began (2015?), but right now I can only suggest to
wait until there's more. My estimate is within next couple of weeks /
months. But it won't be years.

Laurent, do you have some input here? We have simple "2 cameras
connected to one signal processor" situation here. We need some way of
passing endpoint configuration from the sensors through the switch. I

Google of g_routing tells me:
9) Highly reconfigurable hardware - Julien Beraud
- 44 sub-devices connected with an interconnect.
- As long as formats match, any sub-device could be connected to any
- other sub-device through a link.
- The result is 44 * 44 links at worst.
- A switch sub-device proposed as the solution to model the

- sub-devices through the hardware links that connect to the

- The switch would be controlled through new IOCTLs S_ROUTING and
- G_ROUTING.
- Patches available:

No problem :-). If you could review the C-code, too... that would be
nice. It should be in your inbox somewhere (and I attached it below,

Generic for "single GPIO controls the switch", AFAICT. But that should
be common enough...

Well, I'd say that selecting between two sensors is going to be the
common case. If someone needs more than two, it will no longer be
simple GPIO, so we'll have some fixing to do.

I don't know about g_routing. I added g_endpoint_config method that
passes the configuration, and that seems to work for me.
I don't see g_routing in next-20170201 . Is there place to look?

N900 contains front and back camera, with a switch between the
two. This adds support for the switch component, and it is now
possible to select between front and back cameras during runtime.

Hi Pavel,
My apologies for the delays in reviewing. Feel free to ping me in the future
if this happens. :-)

How generic is this? Should we have e.g. nokia,video-bus-switch? And if so,
change the file name accordingly.

I'd say this must be pretty much specific to the one in N900. You could have
more ports. Or you could say that ports beyond 0 are camera sensors. I guess
this is good enough for now though, it can be changed later on with the
source if a need arises.
Btw. was it still considered a problem that the endpoint properties for the
sensors can be different? With the g_routing() pad op which is to be added,
the ISP driver (should actually go to a framework somewhere) could parse the
graph and find the proper endpoint there.
I don't think we need to wait for that now, but this is how the problem
could be solved going forward.

[PATCH] devicetree: Add video bus switch
N900 contains front and back camera, with a switch between the
two. This adds support for the switch component, and it is now
possible to select between front and back cameras during runtime.
This adds documentation for the devicetree binding.
