This has been broken in e352833d, which does not actually copy the logic
from 056f9af9.

Section 13.7.6.13 "CSI Image Parameter Register" of the
i.MX 8M Quad Applications Processors Reference Manual
states that the line size should be divisible by 8 bytes.
However, the hardware also accepts sizes divisible by 4 bytes.

This patch accepts line sizes divisible 4-bytes in non-planar mode.

Hi,

in recent kernels, I've noticed that the Librem 5 camera driver no longer works. The s5k3l6xx out of tree sensor driver uses sizes divisible by 4 and not by 8, for which I submitted the patch 056f9af9 . The new kernels no longer accept sizes divisible by 4.

I tracked down the source: previously, the video device on the imx8m used imx_media_mbus_fmt_to_pix_fmt. e352833d introduced imx7_csi_mbus_fmt_to_pix_fmt, which is what is used now exclusively. However, imx7_csi_mbus_fmt_to_pix_fmt *does not* contain the same logic, and does not provide an explanation why the logic is different.

I don't know why the "imx_*" is not used any more on the i.MX8M SoC, but I presume that "imx7_*" is the correct code path. That indicates that "imx_*" is *not* the correct code for this SoC.

Under those assumptions, I added the relaxed rounding to the "imx7_*" function, to match what the SoC can do (patch 1). I also reverted my original patch (patch 2), because if "imx7_*" is the correct function for my SoC, then I had never intended to mess with whatever other SoC is handled by the "imx_" function.

Cheers,
Dorota

There is no commit 056f9af9.  Always the human readable subject for the
patch.  Also use 12 characters and not 8 so we don't get two commits
with the same hash.

Please add a Fixes tag.
Fixes: e352833d32e6 ("media: staging: media: imx: imx7-media-csi: Import format helpers")

A Fixes tag can be used to automatically determine if a patch needs a
backport or not.  It's just useful information as well.

This information needs to be in the commit message.  Otherwise the
commit message just sounds like theory and abstraction which we do not
care about.  We do care about real hardware which is not working and
especially if it used to work.

I'm not really qualified to review the details of this patch.
Laurent is best qualified to review this.  He'll get this message
because he's subscribed to the lists but it's also good to CC him as
well because he's probably drowning in email like the rest of us.  I've
added him.

regards,
dan carpenter

Thanks. Unbeknownst to me, no one ever applied or rejected the patch series I sent and saw under 056f9af9.

I'll send a fresh series in a moment.

Cheers
