Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Add Omnivision OV4689 image sensor driver

Hello,

this series implements support for Omnivision OV4689 image
sensor. The Omnivision OV4689 is a high performance, 1/3-inch, 4
megapixel image sensor. Ihis chip supports high frame rate speeds up
to 90 fps at 2688x1520 resolution. It is programmable through an I2C
interface, and sensor output is sent via 1/2/4 lane MIPI CSI-2
connection.

The driver is based on Rockchip BSP kernel [1]. It implements 4-lane CSI-2
and single 2688x1520 @ 30 fps mode. The driver was tested on Rockchip
3399-based FriendlyElec NanoPi M4 board with MCAM400 camera module.

While porting the driver, I stumbled upon two issues:

(1) In the original driver, horizontal total size (HTS) was set to a
value (2584) lower then the frame width (2688), resulting in negative
hblank. In this driver, I increased HTS to 2688, but fps dropped from
29.88 to 28.73. What is the preferred way to handle this?

(2) The original driver exposes analog gain range 0x0 - 0x7ff, but the
gain is not linear across that range. Instead, it is piecewise linear
(and discontinuous). 0x0-0xff register values result in 0x-2x gain,
0x100-0x1ff to 0x-4x, 0x300-0x3ff to 0x-8x, and 0x700-0x7ff to 0x-16x,
with more linear segments in between. Rockchip's camera engine code
chooses one of the above segments depenging on the desired gain
value. The question is, how should we proceed keeping in mind
libcamera use case? Should the whole 0x0-0x7ff be exposed as-is and
libcamera will do the mapping, or the driver will do the mapping
itself and expose some logical gain units not tied to the actual gain
register value? Meanwhile, this driver conservatively exposes only
0x0-0xf8 gain register range.
