Tegra contains VI controller which can support up to 6 MIPI CSI
camera sensors.

Each Tegra CSI port from CSI unit can be one-to-one mapper to
VI channel and can capture from an external camera sensor or
from built-in test pattern generator.

This patch adds dt-bindings for Tegra VI and CSI.

A bit of a stupid question maybe, but why is this needed ? Can't the
driver that handles the vi DT node ("nvidia,tegra20-vi") handle all the
registers for all the sub-blocks ? Can't we move the clocks and power
domains from the CSI node to the VI node ?
CSI is separate device driver and VI is separate device driver.
That's fine, but that's a software design decision, it should not affect
the DT bindings. It's possible (even if I don't necessarily recommend
doing so) to create a platform device manually in the VI driver to get
it bound to the CSI driver. In any case DT should describe the system
architecture and shouldn't be influenced by hardware design.

CSI is a separate device for Tegra186 onwards and VI/CSI is common driver.

DT bindings reflects the chip design. Also clocks and power domain for CSI and VI are different and CSI is separate device.


For T210, CSI shares register space under VI but for later Tegras its
separate register space.
This is useful information. How about interrupts though ? You don't
specify any interrupt line here, how are the CSI interrutps handled ?

All frame events are through syncpoint HW like mentioned in earlier feedbacks.

This driver synchronizes capture events through host1x syncpt


So CSI and VI drivers are separate with their corresponding clocks and
power domains in their nodes.

Regardless of the answer to this question, I think this is missing port
nodes for the physical CSI-2 inputs, to connect them to sensors. I
haven't seen anywhere in this series how a CSI-2 sensor is linked to the
VI.
This patch series is only for Tegra internal TPG and tegra video driver
creates hard media links between CSI and VI,
Could you share the output of media-ctl --print-dot to show how this
looks like ?
