[PATCH v2] staging: media: atomisp: csi2: Fix DPCM decompression for source pad format

From: Debjeet Banerjee

Date: Mon Apr 20 2026 - 00:35:19 EST


The CSI2 source pad format was set by blindly copying the sink pad
format, regardless of whether the sink pad is receiving a DPCM-compressed
mbus code. This was marked with a FIXME comment.

When a sensor transmits DPCM-compressed data over MIPI CSI-2 (e.g.
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG10_DPCM8_1X8), the Atom ISP hardware decompresses it
before passing it to the ISP pipeline. Therefore the source pad must
expose the uncompressed format (e.g. MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG10_1X10), not
the compressed one.

atomisp_subdev_uncompressed_code() already implements this mapping via
the compressed_codes[] table in atomisp_subdev.c, which pairs each
DPCM mbus code with its uncompressed counterpart. For codes that are not
DPCM-compressed, the function returns the code unchanged, so this change
is a no-op for all non-DPCM formats.
