I meant to the limits of the PCLK / MIPI bit clock, so the rate we are
expected to reach. But I really don't have any opinion on this, so
I'll just merge your suggestion for the next version.

I’m fine with this approach, but it takes my ability to easily test your 
changes on my MIPI platform off the table. I will be around to run some manual 
tests on your algorithms and answer tech details about my experiments with the 
sensor, but it will fall on Jacobi to ensure that whatever patch you land on 
doesn’t introduce a regression for MIPI platforms. I can then submit a PCLK 
period patch on top of what you end up with, which will then put my platform in 
the game.

Re: [PATCH v4 01/12] media: ov5640: Adjust the clock based on the expected rate

2018-10-18 Thread Samuel Bobrowicz
Hey Jacobi,

 Not a lot of time to respond right now, these days I’m bouncing around between 
a couple jobs. I’ll be trying your and Maximes patches and responding to tech 
details this weekend.

Just want to say that as long as we get the driver working I’m happy :) The 
VAST majority of time put into this has been the reverse engineering effort to 
understand how the part works. Iterating through various  versions takes time 
as we get on the same page, but will be necessary to make sure we don’t 
introduce any regressions on any platforms. I don’t think it is time wasted.

I don’t think my patch is competing, submitting it was just the best way to 
communicate what works on my platform. I don’t expect the final patch we land 
on to be designated as “authored by” me, especially since it was copied mostly 
from Maximes patch. Also, FYI, I’ve put my other patch series about the ov5640 
on hold until we figure this out.

 The clock structure for the PCLK is quite obscure in the documentation, and

 This is troublesome, since we cannot adjust it at runtime based on other
 parameters (such as the number of bytes per pixel), and we can't support
 either framerates that have not been used by the various vendors, since we
 don't have the needed initialization sequence.
 
 We can however understand how the clock tree works, and then implement some
 functions to derive the various parameters from a given rate. And now that
 those parameters are calculated at runtime, we can remove them from the
 initialization sequence.
 
 The modes also gained a new parameter which is the clock that they are
 running at, from the register writes they were doing, so for now the switch
 to the new algorithm should be transparent.

Are you referring to the 1GHz limit of the (xvlkc / pre_div * mult)
output here? If that's your concern we should adjust the requested
SYSCLK rate then (and I added a check for that in my patches on top of
yours, but it could be improved to be honest, as it just refuses the
current rate, while it should increment the pre_divider instead, now
that I think better about that).

It does for me, but it puts the burden on Sam to re-apply his work
on top of [yours+mine] (which is something he would have had to do
anyhow to have his patches accepted, as he would have had to rebase on
top of your series).

I hope to find some more time to look into his series and find out how
hard it would be to add his changes on top of mine, and hopefully help
with this.

Also, testing my patches with DVP would be nice (it should not be
affected at all, but still...)

IIRC, Sam's system has never worked with the ov5640 driver, and his
patches now make it work.

Your patches on the other hand make sure that the current series
doesn't break existing users. So I guess we could merge your current
patches into the v5 of my rework, and have Sam send his work on top of
that.

Does that make sense?

From a clk API point of view though, there's nothing that guarantees
that the clock rate hasn't changed between the probe and the time
where this function is called.

I appreciate that we're probably connected to an oscillator, but even
then, on the Allwinner SoCs we've had the issue recently that one
oscillator feeding the BT chip was actually had a muxer, with each
option having a slightly different rate, which was bad enough for the
BT chip to be non-functional.

I can definitely imagine the same case happening here for some
SoCs. Plus, the clock framework will cache the rate as well when
possible, so we're not losing anything here.

I really don't know MIPI-CSI2 enough to be able to comment on your
concerns, but when reaching the end of the operating limit of the
clock, it would prevent us from having any rate at all, which seems
bad too.

I have no objection caching the values if it solves issues with CSI :)

Can you send that patch?

Thanks, I have seen your patch but it seems to contain a lot of things
already part of Maxime's series. Was this intentional?

Now the un-pleaseant part: I have just sent out my re-implementation
of the MIPI clock tree configuration, based on top of Maxime's series.
Both you and me have spent a looot of time on this I'm sure, and now
we have two competing implementations.

I had a quick look at yours, and for sure there are things I am not
taking care of (I'm thinking about the 0x4837 register that seems to
be important for your platform), so I think both our implementations
can benefits from a comparison. What is important to me is that both
you and me don't feel like our work has been wasted, so let's try to
find out a way to get the better of the two put together, and possibly
applied on top of Maxime's series, so that a v5 of this will work for
both MIPI and DVP interfaces. How to do that I'm not sure atm, I think
other reviewers might help in that if they want to have a look at both
our series :)

Thanks everyone for the hard work on this sensor for now!

Thanks

Hello Maxime and Jacopo (and other ov5640-ers),

I just submitted my version of this patch to the mailing list as RFC.
It is working on my MIPI platform. Please try it if you have time.
Hopefully we can merge these two into a single patch that doesn't
break any platforms.

Thanks,
