So what we have is older VFE - video front end, IFE - image front end 
and SFE - Sensor Front End, which do different things -> VFE raw, IFE 
pixel processing i.e. hw accel processing and SFE - sensor specific 
stuff I'm not across the detail of.

For our purposes in CAMSS => delivering simple bayer to user-space at 
the moment VFE = IFE = SFE.

We could rename vfe -> xfe but then again the presupposes the next 
iteration of this hardware block's name != xfe.

I do not believe there is a namespace deliniation for power-domains 
between 'stock' VFE and IFE.

The PD name in qcom namespace is 'IFE' the existing upstream code VFE 
but the capabilities we support are basically VFE, for now anyway.

Yes.

The last VFE in sm8250 is "pix" capable. VFE Lite is not individually 
power collapsible and I'm quite sure if you start trying to "push" more 
advanced features Lite unsurprisingly has fewer..

Yes. I'm aware of a group working on this and anticipate their patches soon.

There's a Jira ticket in Linaro's system for this if you look..
