[PATCH v2 2/2] media: i2c: imx283: Fix hang when going from large to small resolution

From: Jai Luthra

Date: Sat Feb 14 2026 - 08:07:59 EST


When switching between modes (e.g. full resolution to binned),
standby_cancel() previously cleared XMSTA (starting master mode data
output) before the new mode's MDSEL, crop, and timing registers were
programmed in start_streaming(). This caused the sensor to briefly
output MIPI data using the previous mode's configuration.

On receivers like imx-mipi-csis, this leads to FIFO overflow errors
when switching from a higher to a lower resolution, as the receiver is
configured for the new smaller frame size but receives stale
full-resolution data.

Fix this by moving the XMSTA and SYNCDRV register writes from
standby_cancel() to the end of start_streaming(), after all mode,
crop, and timing registers have been configured. Also explicitly stop
master mode (XMSTA=1) when stopping the stream, matching the pattern
used by other Sony sensor drivers (imx290, imx415).

Use named macros IMX283_XMSTA_START/STOP instead of raw 0/BIT(0) for
readability.
