Add a base schema initially compatible with x1e80100 to describe
MIPI CSI2
PHY devices.
The hardware can support both CPHY, DPHY and a special split-mode DPHY.
The schema here defines three ports:
port@0:
The first input port where a sensor is always required.
port@1:
A second optional input port which if present implies DPHY
split-mode.
port@2:
A third always required output port which connects to the
controller.
This port numeration is imperfect, because port@0 and port@2 are
required,
while middle port@1 is optional.
Like it was stated before a number of times, it seems natural to operate
with two ports, where input port may have two endpoints rather than 3
ports,
also that approach solves the problem of a hole in the port numeration.
Can you confirm this is what you are after ?
port@0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
endpoint@0 { /* primary sensor */
reg = <0>;
data-lanes = <0 1 2 3>;
remote-endpoint = <&sensor0_out>;
};
endpoint@1 { /* split-mode second sensor, optional */
reg = <1>;
data-lanes = <0>;
remote-endpoint = <&sensor1_out>;
};
};
port@1 { /* output to CAMSS, was port@2 */
endpoint { remote-endpoint = <&controller_in>; };
};
This works for me BTW.
endpoint@0 'only' for the 4+1 or 2+1 mode and the other one is for the
1+1 mode? Or is it implicit from this bindings for a developer?>
I am not sure of this, Bryan. If you look at the PHY core clockThe CSIPHY devices have their own pinouts on the SoC as well as
their own
individual voltage rails.
The need to model voltage rails on a per-PHY basis leads us to define
CSIPHY devices as individual nodes.
Two nice outcomes in terms of schema and DT arise from this change.
1. The ability to define on a per-PHY basis voltage rails.
2. The ability to require those voltage.
We have had a complete bodge upstream for this where a single set of
voltage rail for all CSIPHYs has been buried inside of CAMSS.
Much like the I2C bus which is dedicated to Camera sensors - the CCI
bus in
CAMSS parlance, the CSIPHY devices should be individually modelled.

#phy-cells should be 0, because the PHY operating mode is well defined
by 'bus-type' property of an endpoint on the sensor side, the opposite
side of CAMSS/CSID as a CSIPHY "consumer" should not dictate the PHY
type.
Rob said consumer but, I'm also not very bothered about that. bus-type
is perfectly acceptable to me.

Only "qcom,x1e80100-csi2-phy" device is supported so far, unlikely it's
the case that "MXC or MXA voltage rail" should be specified, it'd be
just one of two or both.
Hmm. I'm not being clear here if this is your take, I will reword it
to make it clearer this generation of PHY _must_ have either
- MMCX and MXC
or
- MMCX and MXA
separately, sure, that is correct. But all of them, on this platform as
well, share the RCG, which requires all 3 power domains. So
fundamentally, you need to enable all of those from each PHY. You can
make it constant 3 power domains.>

As it's stated above, it should be converted to a single port with two

If CSIPHYs are true subdevices under the umbrella CAMSS device and well
described as subnodes, then likely none of power domains are needed to be
repeatedly described in the children device nodes, since this information
can be obtained from the parent device by the driver.
Technically 'power-domains' property can be safely removed, I believe.
