It looks to me that at least all those hardcoded HW format IDs do not
match the older SoCs.
TPG hard coded formats are supported on prior Tegra.

Other supported formats are SoC dependent and part of soc data in the
driver already.
But I don't see where that SoC-dependent definition is made in
terga210.c. That tegra_image_format enum looks T210-specific, isn't it?

...
Video formats which are SoC variants are made soc specific in driver
already tegra_vi_soc structure member video_formats

tegra_image_format enum is same for T210 and T186

For T194, enums will be diff and will have diff TEGRA194_VIDEO_FORMAT
using corresponding Tegra194 video format enums
But it is also not the same for older SoCs, correct? All the
T210-specific things should be separated better, unique parts shouldn't
be kept in the common code.

Hence the tegra_image_format should be renamed to tegra210_image_format
and moved out to t210.h, since it's not common. But then you'll probably
need to rename all TEGRA_ defines to TEGRA210_ to make t210.h reusable
by T186.

We can't make t210.h reusable for t186 as all register defines are diff.

only video format enums are same b/w them so to reuse that for t186 I had that in common.

Regarding defines, will change prefix as Tegra210


Also, in the end it may not worth the effort to share anything at all,
it could be cleaner to have a bit of duplication. Although, I have no
idea how T186 code will look like and what other parts of T210 could be
reused by T186. All this needs to be taken into account in order to
avoid struggling with the code's reshuffling in the future.

Currently as image formats are same for t210 and t186 I had them in common.h and for t194 where they are diff new enums will be added.

Other tegra210 soc specific only are all part of tegra210.c/h

Will move video formats to tegra specific file (tegra210.c)...
