[PATCH v2 3/3] media: i2c: imx471: Calculate pixel rate based on external clock rate
From: Kate Hsuan
Date: Fri Sep 04 2026 - 03:58:56 EST
The IMX471 sensor operates in PLL Dual Mode, so OP domain configurations
must be used to determine the pixel rate. Based on the IMX471 clock tree
topology, the pixel rate is calculated as:
(extclk * IOP_PLL_MPY * DDR_FACTOR) / (IOP_PREPLLCK_DIV * IOP_SYNCK_DIV * BPP)
With the register values, this yields a pixel rate of 159.36 MPix/s.
