[PATCH v2 0/8] Add strobe/flash duration v4l2 ctrl & use it for ov9282

From: Richard Leitner
Date: Fri Mar 14 2025 - 04:50:33 EST


This series adds a new v4l2 controls named "strobe duration" with id
V4L2_CID_FLASH_DURATION. This control enables setting a desired
flash/strobe length/duration in µs.

As a first user of this new control add basic flash/strobe support for
ov9282 sensors using their "hardware strobe output". The duration
calculation is only interpolated from various measurements, as no
documentation was found.

Further flash/strobe-related controls as well as a migration to v4l2-cci
helpers for ov9282 will likely be implemented in future series.

All register addresses/values are based on the OV9281 datasheet v1.53
(january 2019). This series was tested using an ov9281 VisionComponents
camera module.

Changes in v2:
- remove not needed controls in struct ov9282 (thanks Dave)
- Fix commit message of 3/3 regarding framerate get/set (thanks Dave)
- Add V4L2_CID_FLASH_STROBE_SOURCE impementation to ov9282
- Add new V4L2_CID_FLASH_DURATION control (as suggested by Laurent)
- Use FLASH_DURATION instead of FLASH_TIMEOUT for ov9282
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250303-ov9282-flash-strobe-v1-0-0fd57a1564ba@xxxxxxxxx
