yes I understand what you intended. but what I wanted to tell you was
with this way, user should modify the camera host driver if they want
to make camera host to return -ENOIOCTLCMD.

I totally understand. you are already doing a great job. I won't push you.

I am sorry, is it really so difficult to understand

which means just one thing: the camera host (interface if you like) driver 
decides, whether it wants client's control to be called, in which case it 
has to return -ENOIOCTLCMD, or it returns any other code (0 or a negative 
error code), then the client will not be called.

So far it seems too much to me. Let's wait until we get a case where it 
really makes sense for platform code to decide who processes certain 
controls. I think giving the host driver the power to decide should be ok 
for now.

Hello Guennadi,

So let's assume that camera interface device can process
V4L2_CID_SHARPNESS and even external camera device can process that,
then according to your patch both of camera interface and external
camera device can be issued to process V4L2_CID_SHARPNESS which I
guess will make image sharpened twice. Am I getting the patch right?

If I'm getting right, it might be better to give user make a choice
through platform data or some sort of variable which can make a choice
between camera interface and camera device to process the CID. It
could be just in aspect of manufacturer mind, we do love to make a
choice between same features in different devices in easy way. So
never mind if my idea is not helpful making your driver elegant :-)
Cheers,

Nate

Should be easy to see in the patch. Host's s_ctrl is called first. It can 
return -ENOIOCTLCMD then sensor's control will be called too. Ot the host 
may choose to call sensor's control itself, which, however, is 
discouraged.

Hello Guennadi,

It's a very interesting patch. Actually some camera interfaces support
for various image effects and I was wondering how to use them in SoC
camera subsystem.

But here is a question. Is it possible to make a choice with the same
CID between icd and ici? I mean, if both of camera interface and
camera device are supporting for same CID how can user select any of
them to use? Sometimes, some image effects supported by camera
interface are not good so I want to use the same effect supported by
external camera ISP device.

I think, it might be possible but I can't see how.
Cheers,

Nate

[PATCH 3/4] soc-camera: add support for camera-host controls

2009-06-11 Thread Guennadi Liakhovetski
Until now soc-camera only supported client (sensor) controls. This patch
enables camera-host drivers to implement their own controls too.
