[PATCH] media: rcar-csi2: do not update format while streaming

From: Dennis Rachui
Date: Thu Jul 08 2021 - 09:33:28 EST


Verify that streaming is not active before setting the pad format.

According to the VIDIOC documentation [1] changes to the active
format of a media pad via the VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT ioctl are
applied to the underlying hardware.
In rcar-csi2 a format change only applies to hardware, when the
pipeline is started. While the device is not in use, it is therefore
okay to update the format.

However, when the pipeline is active, this leads to a format
mismatch between driver and device.
Other applications can query the format with
VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_FMT at any time and would be reported
a format that does not fit the current stream.

This commit prevents format update while streaming is active
and returns -EBUSY to user space, as suggested by [1].

Note: after creation of this commit, it was noticed that Steve
Longerbeam has a very similar solution in his fork.
