[PATCH 0/3] media: ipu3-cio2: support concurrent CSI-2 streams

From: Joe Dzado

Date: Fri Oct 30 2026 - 20:24:14 EST


The ipu3-cio2 driver currently assumes a single active capture: every
stream is pinned to DMA channel 0 (CIO2_DMA_CHAN) and tracked through a
single cur_queue pointer, with the IRQ handler assuming all completion
and start-of-frame events belong to that one queue. On platforms with
more than one sensor wired to separate CSI-2 ports (e.g. the Microsoft
Surface RGB + IR cameras), starting a second stream reprograms channel 0
and cur_queue out from under the first, so only one sensor can capture
at a time.

This series lets the driver use the DMA channels the hardware actually
has, so multiple sensors can stream concurrently:

1/3 dispatches interrupts by DMA channel instead of a single cur_queue
and converts the streaming state to a per-queue count (no
functional change);
2/3 serialises concurrent hw_init()/hw_exit() with a new lock and
guards the block-shared setup so bringing up a second stream does
not tear down the first (still single-channel, no functional
change);
3/3 maps each CSI-2 port to its own DMA channel (2*port), with a
dma_per_port module parameter to restore the old behaviour.

Each patch builds on its own and is bisectable. Tested on a Microsoft
Surface Laptop (i5-7200U, Kaby Lake) with the OV9734 (colour) and OV7251
(IR) sensors streaming concurrently on CIO2 ports 1 and 2 for several
days without errors.

media: ipu3-cio2: track the streaming queue by DMA channel
media: ipu3-cio2: serialise concurrent stream start and stop
media: ipu3-cio2: give each CSI-2 port its own DMA channel
