This is the "admin-guide" documentation and I'm not sure if the admins 
(= the card users) are interested in some hardware blocks description. I 
can for sure ad some basic info like that the card (with the given 
module) has two inputs and two outputs, but if you hold the card in your 
hands while installing it into the PCIe slot you definitely notice that ;-)

Yes, this is the one exception where it makes sense and would improve 
compatibility/usability for the user. I will change that.

Yes. The card has two inputs and two outputs (with the current FPDL/GMSL 
modules).

This is "a necessary condition, not a sufficient one" for a valid video 
stream. Maybe the V4L2_IN_ST_NO_SYNC flag (together with 
V4L2_IN_ST_NO_SIGNAL) could be returned in this case in ENUMINPUT.

It is (also) handled in ENUMINPUT. You get V4L2_IN_ST_NO_SIGNAL in the 
status in this case (in the code the check is based on the resolution, 
but those are almost equivalent things. If there is no valid resolution, 
there is no valid stream.

The reason why this is also available in sysfs is that the users can 
easily see all the info on one place (accessible without special SW) to 
debug problems with the streams which will be much more common than with 
some "regular" grabbers.

When you do QUERY_DV_TIMINGS, you get this info. What was meant with 
that description is, that you can see something different in your video 
player that mostly does not automatically change the DV_TIMINGS and in 
this property. Again, the card is primary designed to dvelope/test the 
infotainment systems and the user often wants too see the current state 
of the HW to find out why the video player stopped showing the expected 
output.

For example to set the correct type of hsync/vsync for the outputs, when 
you want to emulate this input stream. Again, the users need some low 
level info in the common use-cases.

Where applicable, the walues should be also returned in the appropriate 
v4l2 APIs. But like described in the "why sysfs" mail, we want all the 
values to be accesible on a single place with standard OS SW like cat.

Dtto like in all other cases. It probably could, but we want the 
configuration to happen on a single place (accesible using standard UDEV 
rules).

This is the same info like in the case of inputs. The card has two

Dtto like all above cases.

The function does not search for the exact match but for the nearest 
value (= it always returns a value). lib/bsearch.c has IMHO no option 
for that.

Well, the purpose is to make the adapter fetch work... For some reason, 
platform_device_register_resndata() of the i2c adapter does not work 
synchronous and the adapter is not available after the register function 
call. I have spent quiet lot time to find out why this happens/whether 
there is a better mechanism to wait for the adapter as msleep(), but I 
was not successful.

If you know a better mechanism, I will love to change that as I also do 
not like this "magic" sleep. But you are right I can at least document 
that in the code.

Exactly. The card has two GPIO input pins that the users use for 
external triggers. In the admin-guide doc you can find some more info 
under "mgb4 iio (triggers)".

min_buffers_needed is already set to 2. If it makes this code useless, I

Ok, I have AFAIK no special reason for that besides that someone might 
want to use it. But if it is for camera sensor inputs only, I will drop it.

Like with frame intervals, If it is never used in the userspace, I will 
drop it as well.

Warning is probably wrong, but I would keep it at least as dev_info. It 
is quiet useful for troubleshooting video signal problems. So it is not 
exactly what I understand under dev_dbg which is for debuging the 
driver/kernel code. Here the user debugs the infotainment setup/problems.

I have tried request_module() when fiddling with the "magic sleep", but 
it didn't help. So this is IMHO not the solution. I will look at 
v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board() if it makes sense and eventually switch the 
code, but I don't think it will help with the sleep issue.

What if there is some SW that only uses VB2_READ? I would rather let the

If the HW returns any frame data address >= ERR_QUEUE_FULL, it means 
some HW problem/error. This may be temporary as well as permanent, thats 
why EIO. I myself have no more info when or what exact errors can 
happen, the HW documentation just states that its an error...

Yes, I will add some info message. But like in the resolution change, 
wouldn't a dev_info not be better as this is not a driver debug but an 
info for the user?

Will fix that.

I have no special need for that, but why not to let it to the 
user(space)? What if there is some simple SW that only can work using 
read()?

Will fix that.

Again, I will keep this discussion in the separate mail thread.

Thanks for the review.
