The OMAP4 camera support depends on I2C and VIDEO_V4L2, both
of which can be loadable modules. This causes build failures
if we want the camera driver to be built-in.

This can be solved by turning the option into "tristate",
which unfortunately causes another problem, because the
driver incorrectly calls a platform-internal interface
for omap4_ctrl_pad_readl/omap4_ctrl_pad_writel.
To work around that, we can export those symbols, but
that isn't really the correct solution, as we should not
have dependencies on platform code this way.

This is one of just two patches we currently need to get
'make allmodconfig' to build again on ARM.

This was discussed in detail here:
http://marc.info/?t=140198692500001&r=1&w=2
Direct dependency from a staging driver to mach-omap2 driver is not
something we'd like, right?

That's good news, but let's not fix it this way.

Exporting these will likely cause immediate misuse in other
drivers all over the place.

These should just use either pinctrl-single.c instead for muxing.
Or if they are not mux registers, we do have the syscon mapping
available in omap4.dtsi that pbias-regulator.c is already using.

Laurent, got any better ideas?

Tony

The ISS driver needs to write a single register, which contains several 
independent fields. They thus need to be controlled by a single driver. Some 
of them might be considered to be related to pinmuxing (although I disagree on 
that), others are certainly not about muxing (there are clock gate bits for 
instance).

Using the syscon mapping seems like the best option. I'll give it a try.

OK if it's not strictly pinctrl related then let's not use
pinctrl-single,bits for it. You may be able to implement one or more
framework drivers for it for pinctrl/regulator/clock/transceiver
whatever that register is doing.

In any case it's best to have that handling in a separate helper driver
somewhere as it's a separate piece of hardware from the camera module.
If it does not fit into any existing frameworks then it's best to have
it in a separate driver with the camera driver.

Tony

The register contains the following fields that control the two CSI2 PHYs 
(PHY1 and PHY2).

31    CAMERARX_CSI22_LANEENABLE2   PHY2 Lane 2 (CSI22_DX2, CSI22_DY2) Enable
30    CAMERARX_CSI22_LANEENABLE1   PHY2 Lane 1 (CSI22_DX1, CSI22_DY1) Enable
29    CAMERARX_CSI22_LANEENABLE0   PHY2 Lane 0 (CSI22_DX0, CSI22_DY0) Enable
28    CAMERARX_CSI21_LANEENABLE4   PHY1 Lane 4 (CSI21_DX4, CSI21_DY4) Enable
27    CAMERARX_CSI21_LANEENABLE3   PHY1 Lane 3 (CSI21_DX3, CSI21_DY3) Enable
26    CAMERARX_CSI21_LANEENABLE2   PHY1 Lane 2 (CSI21_DX2, CSI21_DY2) Enable
25    CAMERARX_CSI21_LANEENABLE1   PHY1 Lane 1 (CSI21_DX1, CSI21_DY1) Enable
24    CAMERARX_CSI21_LANEENABLE0   PHY1 Lane 0 (CSI21_DX0, CSI21_DY0) Enable
21    CAMERARX_CSI22_CTRLCLKEN     PHY2 Clock Enable
20:19 CAMERARX_CSI22_CAMMODE       PHY2 Mode (CCP2, CSI1, CSI2)
18    CAMERARX_CSI21_CTRLCLKEN     PHY1 Clock Enable
17:16 CAMERARX_CSI21_CAMMODE       PHY1 Mode (CCP2, CSI1, CSI2)

Bits 18 and 21 could be exposed through CCF. Bits 24 to 31 enable/disable the 
CSI2 lanes, so it could be argued that they could be exposed through the 
pinctrl framework. However, they need to be configured independently, possibly 
at runtime. I'm thus not sure pinctrl would be a good idea. Bits 17:16 and 
20:19 don't fit in existing frameworks.

Given that this register is specific to the ISS, I think handling it as a 
separate device through a separate driver would only complicate the 
implementation without any real benefit.

OK thanks for the info. Sounds like drivers/phy might be the right location
for it then and then the phy driver can use the syscon regmap.

Even though it's one register, it shoud still be treated separately from
the camera driver. The problems with keeping the register access to the
control module in the camera driver are at least following:

1. They live in separate hardware modules that can be clocked separately

2. Doing a read-back to flush a posted write in one hardware module most
   likely won't flush the write to other and that can lead into hard to
   find mysterious bugs

3. If we ever have a common system control module driver, we need to
   rewrite all the system control module register tinkering in the drivers

So it's best to try to use an existing framework for it. That avoids
tons of pain later on ;)

Tony

Actually I don't think that's true. The CSI2 PHY is part of the camera device, 
with all its registers but the one above in the camera device register space. 
For some weird reason a couple of bits were pushed to the control module, but 
that doesn't make the CSI2 PHY itself a separate device.

The OMAP4 ISS driver can just read back the CAMERA_RX register, can't it ?

Sure, but that's already the case today, as the OMAP4 ISS driver already 
accesses the control module register directly. I won't make that worse :-)

I agree, but I don't think the PHY framework would be the right abstraction. 
As explained above the CSI2 PHY is part of the OMAP4 ISS, so modeling its 
single control module register as a PHY would be a hack.

Yes they are separate. Anything in the system control module is
a separate hardware module from the other devices. So in this case
the CSI2 PHY is part of the system control module, not the camera
module.

Right, but you would have to do readbacks both from the phy register and
camera register to ensure writes get written. It's best to keep the
logic completely separate especially considering that they can be
clocked separately.

Well that register belongs to the system control module, not the
camera module. It's not like the camera IO space is out of registers
or something! :)

We're already handling similar control module phy cases, see for
example drivers/phy/phy-omap-control.c. Maybe you have most of the
code already there?

Tony

Section 8.2.3 ("ISS CSI2 PHY") of the OMAP4460 TRM (revision AA) documents the 
CSI2 PHY is being part of the ISS, with three PHY registers in the ISS 
register space (not counting the PHY interrupt and status bits in several 
other ISS registers) and one register in the system control module register 
space. It's far from clear which power domain(s) is (are) involved.

The PHY has 3 registers in the ISS I/O space and one register in the control 
module I/O space. I have no idea why they've split it that way. The clock 
enable bits are especially "interested", the source clock (CAM_PHY_CTRL_FCLK) 
comes from the ISS as documented in section 8.1.1 ("ISS Integration"), is 
gated by the control module (the gated clock is called CTRLCLK) and then goes 
back to the ISS CSI2 PHY (it's mentioned in the CSI2 PHY "REGISTER1" 
documentation).

I'm afraid not. For PHYs that are in the system control module that solution 
is perfectly fine, but the CSI2 PHY isn't (or at least not all of it).

I would be fine with writing a separate PHY driver if the PHY was completely 
separate. As the documentation doesn't make it clear which part of the 
hardware belongs to which module, matching the software implementation with an 
unknown hardware implementation would be pretty difficult :-)

If you have a couple of minutes to spare and can look at the CSI2 PHY 
documentation in the TRM, you might be more successful than me figuring out 
how the hardware is implemented.

OK I see. The register in the system control module just contains some
pin and clock related resources for the phy.

Yeah it seems the phy driver would still have to use the pin resources
in the system control module.

Took a look and it seems the phy is split into two parts. So probably
using the syscon mapping for the register in scm are is a good start.
At least then there's some protection from drivers tinkering directly
with the system control modules.

Maybe s	ee what drivers/regulator/pbias-regulator.c is doing with
syscon to see if that works? Moving that to some phy driver later on
should be trivial if needed :)

Tony

And the configuration of the PHY mode (CCP2, CSI1 or CSI2). It really seems 
like random bits :-)

That's my plan.

I'll have a look, but I'm not sure whether the same approach will be possible.
