[PATCH v2 1/3] media: v4l: Add helper to get number of active lanes via a pad

Isaac Scott posted 3 patches 4 weeks, 1 day ago
There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v2 1/3] media: v4l: Add helper to get number of active lanes via a pad
Posted by Isaac Scott 4 weeks, 1 day ago 
Sometimes, users will not use all of the MIPI CSI 2 lanes available when
connecting to the MIPI CSI receiver of their device. Add a helper
function that checks the mbus_config for the device driver to allow
users to define the number of active data lanes through the
get_mbus_config op.

If the driver does not implement this op, fall back to using the number
of data lanes specified in device tree.

This line would benefit from being wrapped.

lanes is unsigned int so no need to check for less than 0.

I might just not use a local variable for this, up to you.

Some kernel-doc documentation would be nice.

OK, I'll wrap it in v3.

Ah, of course, I'll include it in v3.

I'd also rename the dt_lanes parameter to max_data_lanes. "dt" sounds
like data type.

The function prototype is 'unsigned int' and here you return a signed 
value here.

Maybe add a comment here that this check depends on mbus_config being 
zeroed at init if the call above pass with -ENOIOCTLCMD? It's not 
immediately clear what is going on here even tho the code is clever ;-)
