Hi Tiffany,

I plan to review this patch series on Friday, but one obvious question is
what the reason for these failures is:

Input/Output configuration ioctls:
        test VIDIOC_ENUM/G/S/QUERY_STD: OK (Not Supported)
        test VIDIOC_ENUM/G/S/QUERY_DV_TIMINGS: OK (Not Supported)
        test VIDIOC_DV_TIMINGS_CAP: OK (Not Supported)
        test VIDIOC_G/S_EDID: OK (Not Supported)

        Control ioctls:
                test VIDIOC_QUERYCTRL/MENU: OK
                fail: ../../../v4l-utils-1.6.0/utils/v4l2-compliance/v4l2-test-controls.cpp(357): g_ctrl returned an error (11)
                test VIDIOC_G/S_CTRL: FAIL
                fail: ../../../v4l-utils-1.6.0/utils/v4l2-compliance/v4l2-test-controls.cpp(579): g_ext_ctrls returned an error (11)
                test VIDIOC_G/S/TRY_EXT_CTRLS: FAIL
These fails are because VIDIOC_G_CTRL and VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS return
V4L2_CID_MIN_BUFFERS_FOR_CAPTURE only when dirver in MTK_STATE_HEADER
state, or it will return EAGAIN.
This could help user space get correct value, not default value that may
changed base on media content.

                fail: ../../../v4l-utils-1.6.0/utils/v4l2-compliance/v4l2-test-controls.cpp(721): subscribe event for control 'User Controls' failed
                test VIDIOC_(UN)SUBSCRIBE_EVENT/DQEVENT: FAIL
Driver do not support subscribe event for control 'User Controls' for
now.
Do we need to support this?

                test VIDIOC_G/S_JPEGCOMP: OK (Not Supported)
                Standard Controls: 2 Private Controls: 0

        Format ioctls:
                test VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT/FRAMESIZES/FRAMEINTERVALS: OK
                test VIDIOC_G/S_PARM: OK (Not Supported)
                test VIDIOC_G_FBUF: OK (Not Supported)
                fail: ../../../v4l-utils-1.6.0/utils/v4l2-compliance/v4l2-test-formats.cpp(405): expected EINVAL, but got 11 when getting format for buftype 9
                test VIDIOC_G_FMT: FAIL
This is because vidioc_vdec_g_fmt only succeed when context is in
MTK_STATE_HEADER state, or user space cannot get correct format data
using this function.

                test VIDIOC_TRY_FMT: OK (Not Supported)
                test VIDIOC_S_FMT: OK (Not Supported)
                test VIDIOC_G_SLICED_VBI_CAP: OK (Not Supported)

        Codec ioctls:
                test VIDIOC_(TRY_)ENCODER_CMD: OK (Not Supported)
                test VIDIOC_G_ENC_INDEX: OK (Not Supported)
                test VIDIOC_(TRY_)DECODER_CMD: OK (Not Supported)

        Buffer ioctls:
                test VIDIOC_REQBUFS/CREATE_BUFS/QUERYBUF: OK
                fail: ../../../v4l-utils-1.6.0/utils/v4l2-compliance/v4l2-test-buffers.cpp(500): q.has_expbuf(node)
Our OUTPUT and CAPTURE queue support both VB2_DMABUF and VB2_MMAP, user
space can select which to use in runtime.
So our driver default support v4l2_m2m_ioctl_expbuf functionality.
In v4l2-compliance test, it will check v4l2_m2m_ioctl_expbuf only valid
when node->valid_memorytype is V4L2_MEMORY_MMAP.
So when go through node->valid_memorytype is V4L2_MEMORY_DMABUF, it
fail.


best regards,
Tiffany

Total: 38, Succeeded: 33, Failed: 5, Warnings: 0
If it is due to a bug in v4l2-compliance, then let me know and I'll fix it. If not,
then it should be fixed in the driver.

Frankly, it was the presence of these failures that made me think this patch series
wasn't final. Before a v4l2 driver can be accepted in the kernel, v4l2-compliance must pass.
