+Qualcomm Camera Subsystem driver
+================================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This file documents the Qualcomm Camera Subsystem driver located under
+drivers/media/platform/qcom/camss.
+
+The current version of the driver supports the Camera Subsystem found on
+Qualcomm MSM8916/APQ8016 and MSM8996/APQ8096 processors.
+
+The driver implements V4L2, Media controller and V4L2 subdev interfaces.
+Camera sensor using V4L2 subdev interface in the kernel is supported.
+
+The driver is implemented using as a reference the Qualcomm Camera Subsystem
+driver for Android as found in Code Linaro [#f1]_ [#f2]_.
+
+
+Qualcomm Camera Subsystem hardware
+----------------------------------
+
+The Camera Subsystem hardware found on 8x16 / 8x96 processors and supported by
+the driver consists of:
+
+- 2 / 3 CSIPHY modules. They handle the Physical layer of the CSI2 receivers.
+  A separate camera sensor can be connected to each of the CSIPHY module;
+- 2 / 4 CSID (CSI Decoder) modules. They handle the Protocol and Application
+  layer of the CSI2 receivers. A CSID can decode data stream from any of the
+  CSIPHY. Each CSID also contains a TG (Test Generator) block which can generate
+  artificial input data for test purposes;
+- ISPIF (ISP Interface) module. Handles the routing of the data streams from
+  the CSIDs to the inputs of the VFE;
+- 1 / 2 VFE (Video Front End) module(s). Contain a pipeline of image processing
+  hardware blocks. The VFE has different input interfaces. The PIX (Pixel) input
+  interface feeds the input data to the image processing pipeline. The image
+  processing pipeline contains also a scale and crop module at the end. Three
+  RDI (Raw Dump Interface) input interfaces bypass the image processing
+  pipeline. The VFE also contains the AXI bus interface which writes the output
+  data to memory.
+
+

+    for downscalling with ratio up to 16x.
+
+  - Cropping support. Configuration of the VFE Encoder Crop module.
+
+- Concurrent and independent usage of two (8x96: three) data inputs -
+  could be camera sensors and/or TG.
+
+
+Driver Architecture and Design
+------------------------------
+
+The driver implements the V4L2 subdev interface. With the goal to model the
+hardware links between the modules and to expose a clean, logical and usable
+interface, the driver is split into V4L2 sub-devices as follows (8x16 / 8x96):
+
+- 2 / 3 CSIPHY sub-devices - each CSIPHY is represented by a single sub-device;
+- 2 / 4 CSID sub-devices - each CSID is represented by a single sub-device;
+- 2 / 4 ISPIF sub-devices - ISPIF is represented by a number of sub-devices
+  equal to the number of CSID sub-devices;
+- 4 / 8 VFE sub-devices - VFE is represented by a number of sub-devices equal to
+  the number of the input interfaces (3 RDI and 1 PIX for each VFE).
+
+The considerations to split the driver in this particular way are as follows:
+
+- representing CSIPHY and CSID modules by a separate sub-device for each module
+  allows to model the hardware links between these modules;
+- representing VFE by a separate sub-devices for each input interface allows
+  to use the input interfaces concurrently and independently as this is
+  supported by the hardware;
+- representing ISPIF by a number of sub-devices equal to the number of CSID
+  sub-devices allows to create linear media controller pipelines when using two
+  cameras simultaneously. This avoids branches in the pipelines which otherwise
+  will require a) userspace and b) media framework (e.g. power on/off
+  operations) to  make assumptions about the data flow from a sink pad to a
+  source pad on a single media entity.
+
+Each VFE sub-device is linked to a separate video device node.
+
+The media controller pipeline graph is as follows (with connected two / three
+OV5645 camera sensors):

+    :alt:   qcom_camss_8x96_graph.dot
+    :align: center
+
+    Media pipeline graph 8x96
+
+
+Implementation
+--------------
+
+Runtime configuration of the hardware (updating settings while streaming) is
+not required to implement the currently supported functionality. The complete
+configuration on each hardware module is applied on STREAMON ioctl based on
+the current active media links, formats and controls set.
+
+The output size of the scaler module in the VFE is configured with the actual
+compose selection rectangle on the sink pad of the 'msm_vfe0_pix' entity.
+
+The crop output area of the crop module in the VFE is configured with the actual
+crop selection rectangle on the source pad of the 'msm_vfe0_pix' entity.
