It exposes three sub-devices representing the pixel array, -the binner and the scaler. - -As the capabilities of individual devices vary, the driver exposes -interfaces based on the capabilities that exist in hardware. - -Pixel Array sub-device ----------------------- - -The pixel array sub-device represents the camera sensor's pixel matrix, as well -as analogue crop functionality present in many compliant devices. The analogue -crop is configured using the ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` on the source pad (0) of the -entity. The size of the pixel matrix can be obtained by getting the -``V4L2_SEL_TGT_NATIVE_SIZE`` target. - -Binner ------- - -The binner sub-device represents the binning functionality on the sensor. For -that purpose, selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` is supported on the -sink pad (0). - -Additionally, if a device has no scaler or digital crop functionality, the -source pad (1) exposes another digital crop selection rectangle that can only -crop at the end of the lines and frames. - -Scaler ------- - -The scaler sub-device represents the digital crop and scaling functionality of -the sensor. The V4L2 selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` is used to -configure the digital crop on the sink pad (0) when digital crop is supported. -Scaling is configured using selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` on the -sink pad (0) as well. - -Additionally, if the scaler sub-device exists, its source pad (1) exposes -another digital crop selection rectangle that can only crop at the end of the -lines and frames. - -Digital and analogue crop -------------------------- - -Digital crop functionality is referred to as cropping that effectively works by -dropping some data on the floor. Analogue crop, on the other hand, means that -the cropped information is never retrieved. In case of camera sensors, the -analogue data is never read from the pixel matrix that are outside the -configured selection rectangle that designates crop. The difference has an -effect in device timing and likely also in power consumption. +camera sensors. + +Also see :ref:`the CCS driver UAPI documentation <media-ccs-uapi>`.

This is called an asynchronous sub-device notifier and the process is similar to that of a bridge driver apart from that the notifier is initialised using :c:func:`v4l2_async_subdev_nf_init` instead.
