[PATCH 0/3] Add Vision Components MIPI Camera Module support
From: Richard Leitner
Date: Tue Sep 15 2026 - 16:23:28 EST
This series adds support for Vision Components MIPI camera modules by
adding a device driver for the controller chip found on those modules.
The controller is an I2C-accessible FPGA that provides three main
functions for the attached image sensor:
- power sequencing and control of the module supply
- a fixed clock output used as the sensor input clock
- routing of I2C traffic between the host and the sensor
The initial version of this driver was written by Laurent Pinchart and
is available at: gitlab.com/ideasonboard/nxp/linux.git in the
v7.0/sensors/vcmipi branch. Therefore I've added Laurent and me as a
maintainer for this driver and left Laurent as MODULE_AUTHOR. If that's
incorrect or not desired, please feel free to reach out! Thanks
This series was tested using ov9282 camera modules from Vision
Components. Those were flashed with different FPGA firmware versions and
connected to an i.MX8MP SoC.
Any feedback is warmly welcome.
Thanks!
