Aside from 12 bit monochrome or color format the sensor implicitly
supports 10 and 8 bit formats as well by simply dropping the
corresponding LSBs.

That's not how it should work though. If you set the format on
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG8_1X8 through the pipeline for instance, you will end
up capturing the 8 LSB, not the 8 MSB.

What's your use case for this ?

I use this sensor in combination with an i.MX 6 and i.MX 6UL. When the
sensor is connected with 12 bit (or 10 bit on the i.MX 6UL) and I set
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG8_1X8 through the pipeline the CSI interface drops the
unused 4 LSB (or 2 LSB on the i.MX 6UL) so I get the 8 MSB from my 12 bit
sensor.

Is that the PIXEL_BIT bit in CSI_CSICR1 for the i.MX6UL ? If so I think
this should be handled in the imx7-media-csi driver. You could set the
format to MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG10_1X10 on the sink pad of the CSI and to
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG8_1X8 on the source pad to configure this. I don't
think the sensor driver should be involved, otherwise we'd have to patch
all sensor drivers. From a sensor point of view, it outputs 12-bit
Bayer, not 8-bit.

Ah, I had it wrong. What you say makes total sense. I will take another look at it and also try to work your suggestion from below in.

Thanks,
Stefan


Now there's a caveat. When used with the i.MX6UL, I assume you connected
D[11:2] of the sensor to D[9:0] of the i.MX6UL, right ? The i.MX6UL
doesn't support 12-bit inputs, so it should accept
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG12_1X12 on its sink pad. In this case, as D[1:0] of
the sensor are left unconnected, I think you should set data-shift to 2
and bus-width to 10 in DT on the sensor side. The MT9P031 driver should
parse that, and output MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG10_1X10 instead of
MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG12_1X12 in that case.

Does this clarify things? Maybe the description in the commit message is not
accurate enough or did I get something wrong?
