That device is different in its support for global digital gain. This patch sets the gain for each component separately. Adding more writes on a given frame increases the probability of slipping to the following frame. Doing the exposure and gain updates in the same group write would alleviate that a little. > > > > > This is of course a trick since the control framework doesn't really > > support this, but I think this support should be added. > > > > -- > > Regards, > > > > Sakari Ailus

This patch > sets the gain for each component separately. That's not what the patch does. The existing code programs the 3 per-component registers separately. This patch made it happen under one write group. It doesn't increase the likelihood of the frame having wrong parameters - given the same timeline, before this patch, the frame would just have an even worse, partial gain setting, while with this patch it can either have the old or new gain.

MWB gain register are used to set gain for each mwb channel mannually. However, it will involve some artifacts at low light environment as gain cannot be applied to each channel synchronously. Update the driver to use group write for digital gain to make the sure RGB digital gain be applied together at frame boundary.
