To help illustrate my point, consider the difference between MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB565_1X16 and MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB565_2X8_BE or MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB565_2X8_LE. RGB565_1X16 means 1 pixel over an effective 16-bit wide bus (if it's not 16-bit, then it has to be broken up into separate "samples".) RGB565_2X8 means 1 pixel as two 8-bit samples. So, the 10-bit bayer is 1 pixel as 1.25 bytes. Or is it, over a serial bus. Using the RGB565 case, 10-bit bayer over a 4 lane CSI bus becomes interesting: first byte 2nd 3rd lane 1 P0 9:2 S0 P7 9:2 lane 2 P1 9:2 P4 9:2 S1 lane 3 P2 9:2 P5 9:2 P8 9:2 lane 4 P3 9:2 P6 9:2 P9 9:2 S0 = P0/P1/P2/P3 least significant two bits S1 = P4/P5/P6/P7 least significant two bits or 2 lane CSI: first byte 2nd 3rd 4th 5th lane 1 P0 9:2 P2 S0 P5 P7 lane 2 P1 9:2 P3 P4 P6 S1 or 1 lane CSI: lane 1 P0 P1 P2 P3 S0 P4 P5 P6 P7 S1 P8 P9 ...These do look like three different media bus formats to me.This isn't limited to the serial side - the parallel bus side between the CSI2 interface and CSI2IPU wrapper, and the CSI2IPU wrapper and the CS0/1 interfaces is much the same with 10-bit bayer. Think of the CSI2 <-> CSI2IPU bit as the 4-lane case, lane 0 ending up on the least significant 8 bits of the 32-bit bus, lane 3 on the top 8-bits. Post CSI2IPU, it talks about a 16-bit bus in the diagrams, so that's kind of the 2-lane case above...
You are right, on the parallel buses the format most definitely is not MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SBGGR10_1X10. We don't have any representation of the 32-bit bus between CSI2 host and CSI2IPU gasket because we model the two as a single entity, but the four 16-bit parallel buses between the CSI2IPU gasket and the IPU1/2 CSI0/1 probably should be set to a custom format describing this accurately. regards Philipp -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe devicetree" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
