[PATCH v2 0/2] media: ov13858: device tree support for the Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon)

[George Neacsu via B4 Relay]

Hi Sakari,

The Surface Pro 11 with a Snapdragon X Elite (X1E80100) has an OV13858
rear camera on Qualcomm CAMSS over four D-PHY lanes. This two-patch
series adds the DT binding and the OF/endpoint support for the existing
sensor driver.

v2 keeps Sergey's power-management work as a prerequisite, updated to
his v4:
<20261016210246.58562-1-lsa.uz@pm.me>

On the Snapdragon model, the v4 runtime-PM callbacks are equivalent to
the v3 callbacks used for the hardware test. I ran 20 open/stream/close
cycles on the rear sensor; it runtime-suspended between every cycle and
streamed again each time. Three additional cycles saved complete
4224x3136 RAW10 frames. The camera rails were enabled while streaming
and disabled between sessions.

System suspend has not yet been tested on the Snapdragon model.
Suspend/resume support for this platform is currently being brought up
separately, and I plan to include the camera in that testing once it is
ready. This series therefore makes no suspend/resume claim.

Sergey tested the DT patches on the Intel Surface Pro 11: the endpoint
check passes, 4224x3136 streams at 29.95 fps, and v4l2-compliance passes
46/46 on the subdev. His Tested-by is carried on both patches.

Thanks to Sakari, Krzysztof and Bryan for the review and guidance.
Krzysztof's Reviewed-by is carried on the binding, and Sakari's latest
review feedback is folded into v2.

Changes in v2:
- update the prerequisite from Sergey's v3 to v4;
- carry Sergey's Tested-by on both patches;
- remove the fixed 19.2 MHz claim from the binding description;
- let v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_alloc_parse() handle missing-endpoint deferral;
- trim the driver commit message to the implementation change;
- document the Snapdragon runtime-PM cycle results.

[PATCH v2 1/2] dt-bindings: media: i2c: Add OmniVision OV13858

[George Neacsu via B4 Relay]

From: George Neacsu <geocausa@gmail.com>

The OV13858 is a 13 megapixel sensor with a four-lane MIPI CSI-2 D-PHY
output. So far its driver has only been probed through ACPI. The
Microsoft Surface Pro 11 with a Snapdragon X Elite uses it as the rear
camera and describes it in the device tree.

Describe the sensor input clock, three supplies, reset GPIO and
four-lane CSI-2 endpoint.

Did not happen.

Add only applicable tags. Otherwise please explain how this code was
executed and tested.

You're right -- I mistakenly carried Sergey's Tested-by onto the binding
patch. His hardware testing covers the driver/series, not execution of the
YAML binding itself. I'll drop that Tested-by from patch 1 in the next
revision.

For clarity, I carried your Reviewed-by from your v1 reply where you
explicitly gave it. I intend to keep that tag unless you consider the v2
changes substantial enough to invalidate it.

Thanks for catching this.

Best regards,
George

[PATCH v2 2/2] media: i2c: ov13858: Add device tree support

[George Neacsu via B4 Relay]

From: George Neacsu <geocausa@gmail.com>

Add an OF match table for OV13858 and parse its firmware endpoint at
probe time. Require a four-lane D-PHY endpoint and both link frequencies
used by the existing sensor modes.

v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_alloc_parse() returns -EPROBE_DEFER if a software
node endpoint has not been instantiated yet, preserving bridge-created
endpoint probe ordering.

Re: [PATCH v2 0/2] media: ov13858: device tree support for the Surface Pro 11 (Snapdragon)

[Sergey Lebedev]

Hi George,

Retested v2 on the Intel model, on media next with the power-on v4.
Loaded before the IPU driver, the sensor's probe defers ("parsing
endpoint failed" in devices_deferred) and binds once ipu-bridge has
built the endpoint. It then streams 4224x3136 at 29.95 fps, and
v4l2-compliance passes 46 of 46 on the subdev. Through the media device
the one failure is the colorspace, which your separate patch fixes, with
my Tested-by from the same machine:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20261016-ov13858-colorspace-v1-1-51f0379ada0c@gmail.com/
So the Tested-by stands for v2.

Sergey

Thanks Sergey, much appreciated -- especially for turning this around so
quickly.

That confirms the deferred-probe path behaves as intended on the Intel
model. Thanks as well for reconfirming the Tested-by on v2 and on the
colorspace fix.

Best regards,
George
