      5MIPI CCS camera sensor driver
      6=============================
      7
      8The MIPI CCS camera sensor driver is a generic driver for `MIPI CCS
      9<https://www.mipi.org/specifications/camera-command-set>`_ compliant
     10camera sensors. It exposes three sub-devices representing the pixel array,
     11the binner and the scaler.
     12
     13As the capabilities of individual devices vary, the driver exposes
     14interfaces based on the capabilities that exist in hardware.
     15
     16Pixel Array sub-device
     17----------------------
     18
     19The pixel array sub-device represents the camera sensor's pixel matrix, as well
     20as analogue crop functionality present in many compliant devices. The analogue
     21crop is configured using the ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` on the source pad (0) of the
     22entity. The size of the pixel matrix can be obtained by getting the
     23``V4L2_SEL_TGT_NATIVE_SIZE`` target.
     24
     25Binner
     26------
     27
     28The binner sub-device represents the binning functionality on the sensor. For
     29that purpose, selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` is supported on the
     30sink pad (0).
     31
     32Additionally, if a device has no scaler or digital crop functionality, the
     33source pad (1) expses another digital crop selection rectangle that can only
     34crop at the end of the lines and frames.
     35
     36Scaler
     37------
     38
     39The scaler sub-device represents the digital crop and scaling functionality of
     40the sensor. The V4L2 selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` is used to
     41configure the digital crop on the sink pad (0) when digital crop is supported.
     42Scaling is configured using selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` on the
     43sink pad (0) as well.
     44
     45Additionally, if the scaler sub-device exists, its source pad (1) exposes
     46another digital crop selection rectangle that can only crop at the end of the
     47lines and frames.
     48
     49Digital and analogue crop
     50-------------------------
     51
     52Digital crop functionality is referred to as cropping that effectively works by
     53dropping some data on the floor. Analogue crop, on the other hand, means that
     54the cropped information is never retrieved. In case of camera sensors, the
     55analogue data is never read from the pixel matrix that are outside the
     56configured selection rectangle that designates crop. The difference has an
     57effect in device timing and likely also in power consumption.
     58
     59Register definition generator
     60-----------------------------
     61
     62The ccs-regs.asc file contains MIPI CCS register definitions that are used
     63to produce C source code files for definitions that can be better used by
     64programs written in C language. As there are many dependencies between the
     65produced files, please do not modify them manually as it's error-prone and
     66in vain, but instead change the script producing them.
     67
     68Usage
     69~~~~~
     70
     71Conventionally the script is called this way to update the CCS driver
     72definitions:
     73
     74.. code-block:: none
     75
     76	$ Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/ccs/mk-ccs-regs -k \
     77		-e drivers/media/i2c/ccs/ccs-regs.h \
     78		-L drivers/media/i2c/ccs/ccs-limits.h \
     79		-l drivers/media/i2c/ccs/ccs-limits.c \

     82CCS PLL calculator
     83==================
     84
     85The CCS PLL calculator is used to compute the PLL configuration, given sensor's
     86capabilities as well as board configuration and user specified configuration. As
     87the configuration space that encompasses all these configurations is vast, the
     88PLL calculator isn't entirely trivial. Yet it is relatively simple to use for a
     89driver.
     90
     91The PLL model implemented by the PLL calculator corresponds to MIPI CCS 1.1.
