Yes, the driver was written to support both, but it is not that simple.

As far as I heard, the downstream version used some code generator
to produce both the firmware and the driver. Those evaluate
internally some of the vars. What Alan seems to have done is to
generate both ISP2400 and ISP2401 versions and then merge them into
a single code, adding the ISP2400 version check.

If you look at the initial committed patch, you'll see things like:

	$ git show a49d25364dfb9f8a64037488a39ab1f56c5fa419
...
	+#ifdef ISP2401
	+
	+#endif

That clearly shows that some tool merged both CSP2400 and 2401 variants
into a single driver.

I did a large re-work of converting such ifdefs into runtime if's, as
the end goal is to be able have support for both BYT and CHT code
compiled at the time time, having the decision of enabling/disabling
the needed features in runtime.

This is not complete, though, as there's still a compile-time
variable to select the CHT variant: VIDEO_ATOMISP_ISP2401.

I would love to completely get rid of that, but the remaining bits
require to be able to test it on both BYT and CHT variants.

-

Now, if we look at the #ifdefs of the original upstreamed version,
clearly some of the changes are just improvements on the driver
(some are related to the addition of an error-check, for instance),
while others seem to be related to different hardware features
(like some related to the clock frequencies).

However, for most part, it is almost impossible to know if they're
due to a different firmware version or due to different hardware
features.

Had you test it on BYT? On what hardware?

Btw, it would help a lot if you could describe exactly what tools are
you using to test. That would allow us to also test it on our hardware.

See the Alan's original comment:

	+7. The ISP code depends on the exact FW version. The version defined in
	+   BYT: 
	+   drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/css2400/sh_css_firmware.c
	+   static const char *release_version = STR(irci_stable_candrpv_0415_20150521_0458);
	+   CHT:
	+   drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp2/css/sh_css_firmware.c
	+   static const char *release_version = STR(irci_ecr-master_20150911_0724);
	+
	+   At some point we may need to round up a few driver versions and see if
	+   there are any specific things that can be done to fold in support for
	+   multiple firmware versions.

He clearly created it with a different firmware for CHT. Yet, nobody
were able to find the exact firmware he used. So, I ended changing
some parts of the driver to become closer to the one used by Intel Aero,
as the firmware for it is easy to retrieve.

Btw, even if BYT and CHT firmware were produced against the same version
of the generator toolset, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're
identical.

Yes, but they needed to be compiled with a different option right
now, as the register addresses are different. That's basically the
main reason for VIDEO_ATOMISP_ISP2401 Kconfig option: to select
between ISP2400/candrpv register map and ISP2401/ecr-master register map.

Not clear yet if those differences are just due to different
firmware versions, just due to different hardware versions or both.

Maybe.

Ok. So, please make it clearer at the description.

Ok, I see the point. Yeah, using a single release version makes
things better.

Had you test them with both ISP2400 and ISP2401 hardware?

Did you compile with both VIDEO_ATOMISP_ISP2401 enabled and
disabled?
