[PATCH 00/10] media: i2c: ov9282: fix control range handling

[Richard Leitner]

This series fixes a set of related issues in the OV9282 control handling
code.

The driver updated exposure- and flash duration-related control ranges
in several places, but some of those updates used an incorrect timebase
or were triggered too late, which could leave the controls clamped
against stale values.

The series:
- checks the return value of exposure range updates,
- introduces various helpers for calculating/converting times,
- refreshes flash-duration limits while the sensor is powered down,
- refreshes dependent ranges on mode changes,
- recomputes flash-duration limits when HBLANK changes,
- removes the no longer needed hblank field of the driver struct,
- harmonizes error printing during probe

This series was tested with an ov9282 sensor on a vision components camera
module attached to an i.MX8MP mainboard.

Any feedback is warmly welcome.

Thanks!

[PATCH 01/10] media: i2c: ov9282: handle error from exposure range update

[Richard Leitner]

When setting V4L2_CID_VBLANK the V4L2 range for the exposure control is
updated v4l2_ctrl_modify_range(). This range update missed a return value
check, which resulted in ov9282_set_ctrl() not returning on an error from
that function call.

Fix this by checking the return value and returning it on error.

AFAICT A failure there would imply a driver bug rather than userspace,
but better to handle it rather than just ignoring it.

[PATCH 02/10] media: i2c: ov9282: fix line time and exposure time calculation

[Richard Leitner]

ov9282_exposure_to_us() divided the line length by the pixel rate control,
which is the MIPI rate and not the clock HTS is counted in. The right
clock is PLL2's system clock. With the PLL2 dividers left at their reset
values the chain

SYS_CLK = XVCLK  / pre_div0 / pre_div * loop_div / sys_pre_div / sys_div
        =    24  /    1     /    3    * loop_div /     4       /    2

collapses to SYS_CLK = loop_div MHz.

Fix this by introducing a new static function to calculate the current
line time and use it in ov9282_exposure_to_us().

I think this statement could use some more justification for the commit log.

PLL2 is stated in the data-sheet ?

[PATCH 03/10] media: i2c: ov9282: fix flash duration to/from microseconds conversion

[Richard Leitner]

Currently the flash duration is converted to/from microseconds using a
fixed OV9282_STROBE_SPAN_FACTOR constant. This is inaccurate as it was
found that the "step width of shift and span" (which is not documented
further in the datasheet) scales with the line, so the span is counted
in lines.

Fix the conversion by dropping the constant factor and using the
previously introduced ov9282_line_time_ns() helper instead.

[PATCH 04/10] media: i2c: ov9282: update flash_duration range even when powered down

[Richard Leitner]

The flash_duration range update sat inside ov9282_update_exp_gain(), which
ov9282_set_ctrl() only reaches after the pm_runtime_get_if_in_use() early
return. So with the sensor idle the ceiling kept whatever value it had
when it last streamed. Therefore setting exposure before flash_duration
while the sensor is powered down may clamp flash_duration against an
outdated exposure.

Fix this by moving the range update before the power check.

This hasn't removed the __v4l2_ctrl_modify_range call from
ov9282_update_exp_gain(), so the range gets updated twice if the
sensor is powered on.

[PATCH 05/10] media: i2c: ov9282: add refresh of missing ranges on a mode change

[Richard Leitner]

ov9282_update_controls() updates the pixel rate, hblank and vblank, but
currently misses the exposure range and flash_duration. Both are dependent
on the line time and therefore the pixel format.

Refresh both, and commit cur_mode and code in ov9282_set_pad_format()
before the call so the refresh and any nested s_ctrl see the incoming
format.

[PATCH 06/10] media: i2c: ov9282: refresh flash_duration range on an HBLANK write

[Richard Leitner]

The strobe ceiling is the exposure time in microseconds, so it follows
the line time, and the line length sets the line time. Writing HBLANK moves
it and nothing recomputes the flash_duration ceiling.

Therefore add the missing flash_duration range update when HBLANK is set.

The exposure range is counted in lines, so it is unaffected and does not
need refreshing here.

[PATCH 07/10] media: i2c: ov9282: drop redundant vblank field

[Richard Leitner]

The ov9282 main struct has a dedicated vblank field which was only used
to duplicate the value of the vblank v4l2 control.

Therefore drop this struct field.

[PATCH 08/10] media: i2c: ov9282: harmonize dev_err_probe usage

[Richard Leitner]

Use dev_err_probe() for all error messages during probing. This ensures
there's a common "look-and-feel" in the drivers source code as well as
the system log.

My understanding is that dev_err_probe should always have the \n on
the end of the log text.
Admittedly "failed to get reset gpio %pe" above is missing it, but
removing it off all the other instances seems to be the wrong fix.

Otherwise the patch looks fine.

Thanks for the pointer. I wasn't aware of this convention. Also the
documentation of dev_err_probe mentions nothing. Nonetheless when
grepping through the kernel source I totally agree. "\n" is definitely
preferred.

I will adapt this for v2.

[PATCH 09/10] media: i2c: ov9282: fix flash duration control range

[Richard Leitner]

When updating the flash_duration range ensure the ceiling is at least as
long as the exposure time is. This may cause the calculated
flash_duration register value to be rounded up.

This is done by introducing a new
ov9282_update_ctrl_range_flash_duration() function and using them
wherever possible.

[PATCH 10/10] media: i2c: ov9282: clamp flash_duration default to its maximum

[Richard Leitner]

Currently the OV9282_STROBE_FRAME_SPAN_DEFAULT is always passed as default
to the flash_duration v4l2 control, where the maximum is dynamically
changed. This may lead to situations where the default is above the
maximum.

Fix this by setting the maximum value as default when
OV9282_STROBE_FRAME_SPAN_DEFAULT is above the maximum value.
