[PATCH v6 4/8] media: i2c: rdacm20: Re-program chip address earlier

From: Jacopo Mondi
Date: Thu Jul 22 2021 - 05:12:29 EST


The current implementation of the camera module initialization
re-programs the chip address during the post-registration phase, once
the reverse channel amplitude has been compensated. While this guarantees
more reliable communications, reprogramming the chip address at probe()
time guarantees that the embedded MCU cannot over-write the settings
programmed by the driver.

Re-program the chip address at probe() time, to avoid conflicts on the
i2c bus due to messages sent by the embedded MCU to the default chip
address which render capture operations unstable.
