If yes then setting > the METADATA flag with a different media bus is also an invalid configuration. That may be currently the case, but not all non-image data (metadata in practice) will be using MEDIA_BUS_FMT_FIXED, for instance sensor embedded data when we support that in upstream. Note that whether metadata flows over a pad is dynamic configuration. I wonder if it is useful to tell this to the user, as the user, in many cases, will be making the configuration affecting this. There definitely are devices where this configuration would be static, but many of those cases (ISPs in particular) have DMAs (i.e. video nodes) directly connected over a link, where you'll find this information on the video node.

There definitely Hi, you mean that there might be pads that can either support metadata or non-metadata?

Maybe this is a silly question, but why do we need a flag in the pads to indicate metadata if we have mbus code MEDIA_BUS_FMT_METADATA_FIXED for this? Aren't we adding redundant information?

Hi, This patch was abandoned in favor for the MEDIA_BUS_FMT_METADATA_FIXED solution. I should have send the MEDIA_BUS_FMT_METADATA_FIXED patch as a new version of this patch since it replaces it.
