[PATCH v1 2/2] media: i2c: mt9m114: add support for Aptina MI1040
Posted by Svyatoslav Ryhel 1 week, 6 days ago
Slightly different version of MT9M114 camera module is used in a several
devices like ASUS Nexus 7 (2012) or ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 and is
called Aptina MI1040. Only difference found so far is lacking ability to
poll STATUS and COMMAND registers during power on sequence, which causes
driver to fail with time out error. Add polling flag to diverge models and
address quirk found in MI1040.

What does the datasheet say, is there a need to do something else instead?
As the polling is there to ensure firmware has done its job, the need
appears to still be there.

You can use device_get_match_data() here.

The sentinel entry shouldn't have a comma. Feel free to fix that while at
it.

MI1040 has no datasheet available and downstream code does not do this
polling. I have tested on Nexus 7 which has this camera and it seems
to be fully operational without this poling, but as soon it is enabled
camera fails will timeout. I suspect that this camera version has some
quirk regarding early access, but I cannot back it up by any
documentation or additional data.

I have a device with proper version of mt9m114 too and it works with
his driver without any major issues.

Does the device reply to reads of the MT9M114_COMMAND_REGISTER register
but never shows the MT9M114_COMMAND_REGISTER_SET_STATE bit being set, or
does it not reply to reads at all (timeouts on the I2C bus) ?

I have re-run check on Nexus 7 and TF201 which both have mi1040 cam.

From data I have got:

"mt9m114_poll_command(sensor, MT9M114_COMMAND_REGISTER_SET_STATE);"

passes fine, which is good. Previous time if failed with Timeout
waiting for state and -ETIMEDOUT. But

"mt9m114_poll_state(sensor, MT9M114_SYS_STATE_STANDBY);"

still gives:

[    2.921791] mt9m114 2-0048: Timeout waiting for state 0x52
[    2.922777] mt9m114 2-0048: error -ETIMEDOUT: Could not power on the device

commenting mt9m114_poll_state made camera work, I was able to take pictures.

If you have any suggestions for testing, let me know.


Additionally, not related to this patch but to mt9m114 device tree
reflection. The MT9M114 driver exposes the IFP device's sink pad
first, which causes issues for external devices that rely on the OF
graph to get the correct pad information. Laurent, may you consider
swapping sink and source pads of IFP so that source pad is set first
and correspond to device tree port or at least if you and media
subsystem maintainers are fine with such change?

Does increasing the timeout help ? I'm wondering if this patch could
just work by luck, with the sensor no being ready quickly enough for the
timeout used by mt9m114_poll_command(), but hvaing time to get ready
after power on because the driver doesn't start streaming immediately.

That risks breaking existing userspace applications.

The issue may be that the IFP entity doesn't implement the
.get_fwnode_pad() operation. You will also need to make sure that the
downstream driver calls media_entity_get_fwnode_pad() instead of
assuming the pad number to be 0. Could you give that a try ?

No, increasing polling duration x10 and x100 results in the same issue
as if not touching it at all
