+Visconti Video Input Interface Driver (visconti-viif)
+======================================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This file documents the driver for the Video Input Interface (VIIF) that is
+part of Toshiba Visconti SoCs.
+The driver is located under drivers/media/platform/toshiba/visconti and uses
+the Media-Controller API.
+
+The driver module is named visconti-viif,
+and is enabled through the CONFIG_VIDEO_VISCONTI_VIIF config option.
+The CSI-2 receiver part is controlled by another module named visconti-csi2rx,
+which is enabled through the CONFIG_VIDEO_VISCONTI_CSI2RX config option.
+
+The Visconti VIIF Hardware
+==========================
+
+The Visconti VIIF hardware is an internally developed video capture device.
+Following function modules are integrated:
+
+* MIPI CSI-2 receiver (CSI2RX)
+* L1 Image Signal Processor (L1ISP)
+
+  * Correction, enhancement, adjustment on bayer images.
+
+* L2 Image Signal Processor (L2ISP)
+
+  * Lens distortion correction
+  * Scaling & Cropping with up to 2 parameter sets
+  * Formatting picture (RGB, YUV, Grayscale, ...)
+  * Integrated DMAC: Writing picture into main memory
+
+* Video DMAC
+
+  * Writing picture into main memory
+
+Visconti5 SoC has two VIIF hardware instances.
+
+
+The hardware block diagram is shown below.::

+
+visconti-viif:resizer - Resizer Subdevice Node
+----------------------------------------------
+
+The resizer subdevice resides between ISP subdevice and Capture device
+on a capture path for post0 and post1.
+It receives resize and crop parameters for the specific capture path
+and controls L2ISP HW.
+
+following selection rectangles can be passed at VIDIOC_S_SELECTION ioctl.
+
+- sink pads's compose rectangle (V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE) for scaling
+- source pad's crop rectangle (V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP) for cropping
+
+
+viif_capture_post0, viif_capture_post1 - Processed Image Capture Video Node
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+These video nodes are used for capturing images processed at ISPs.
+Supported capture formats are as follows:
+
+- V4L2_PIX_FMT_RGB24
+- V4L2_PIX_FMT_ABGR32
+- V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV422M
+- V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV444M
+- V4L2_PIX_FMT_Y16
+
+Bayer format is not supported. Use viif_capture_sub instead.
+
+POST0 and POST1 can output images from the same input image
+using different cropping and scaling settings.
+
+viif_capture_sub - Raw Image Capture Video Node
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This video node is used for capturing bayer image from the sensor.
+The output picture has exactly the same resolution and format as the sensor input.
+The pipeline does not edit pixel values.
+However, when writing pixel values to memory, they are shifted to the MSB
+to match either 8bit or 16bit.
+
+Therefore, resulting capture formats are as follows:
+
+- for 8bit RAW input:
+    - V4L2_PIX_FMT_SRGGB8
+    - V4L2_PIX_FMT_SGRBG8
+    - V4L2_PIX_FMT_SGBRG8
+    - V4L2_PIX_FMT_SBGGR8
+- for 10, 12, 14bit RAW input:
+    - V4L2_PIX_FMT_SRGGB16
+    - V4L2_PIX_FMT_SGRBG16
+    - V4L2_PIX_FMT_SGBRG16
+    - V4L2_PIX_FMT_SBGGR16
+
+.. _viif_params:
+
+viif_params - ISP Parameters Video Node
+---------------------------------------
+
+The viif_params video node receives a set of ISP parameters from userspace
+to be applied to the hardware during a video stream.
+
+The buffer format is defined by struct :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_config`, and userspace should set
+:ref:`V4L2_META_FMT_VISCONTI_VIIF_PARAMS <v4l2-meta-fmt-visconti-viif-params>` as the data format.
+
+.. _viif_stats:
+
+viif_stats - Statistics Video Node
+----------------------------------
+
+The viif_stats video node provides current status of ISP.
+
+Following information is included:
+
+* statistics of auto white balance
+* average luminance information which can be used by auto exposure software impl.
+
+The buffer format is defined by struct :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_stat`, and userspace should set
+:ref:`V4L2_META_FMT_VISCONTI_VIIF_STATS <v4l2-meta-fmt-visconti-viif-stats>` as the data format.
+
+Feedback Operations
+===================
+
+Among the so-called 3A functions, VIIF provides only auto-whitebalance and auto-exposure.
+Auto-whitebalance is a standalone hardware feature.
+Some status information is available through the ISP statistics interface.
+
+Auto-exposure is realized through a combination of hardware and userland software.
+VIIF provides weighted average luminance information through the ISP statistics interface.
+The userland application calculates the sensor gain, sensor exposure and ISP digital gain.
+The calculated parameters are then passed to sensor's controls and the ISP parameter interface.
+
+Among ISP parameters, there are parameters called AG (analog gain).
+Actually, AG parameters have nothing to do with auto-exposure.
+It controls "strength" in several signal correction algorithms.
+Below is the list of the functions which may be affected by AG parameters:
+
+- ABPC/DPC
+- RCNR
+- LSSC
+- MPRO: color matrix correction
+- VPRO
+
+Capturing Video Frames Example
+==============================
+
+In the following example,
+imx219 camera is connected to pad 0 of 'visconti_csi2rx' subdevice.
+
+The following commands yield three pictures with different zoom ratio:
+- main path 0: 1.5x zoom, crop 1920x1080, RGB picture
+- main path 1: 0.67x zoom, crop 640x480, RGB picture
+- sub path: 1920x1080 RAW picture
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+	# set the links
+	media-ctl -d platform:visconti-viif-0 -r

+Use of coherent memory
+======================
+
+Visconti5 SoC has two independent DDR SDRAM controllers.
+Each controller is mapped to 36bit address space.
+
+Accelerator bus masters have two paths to access memory;
+one is directly connected to SDRAM controller,
+the another is connected via a cache coherency bus
+which keeps coherency among CPUs.
+
+From accelerators and CPUs, the address map is following:
+
+* 0x0_8000_0000 DDR0 direct access
+* 0x4_8000_0000 DDR0 coherency bus
+* 0x8_8000_0000 DDR1 direct access
+* 0xC_8000_0000 DDR1 coherency bus
+
+The base address can be specified with "memory" and "reserved-memory" elements
+in a device tree description.
+It's not recommended to mix direct address and coherent address.
+
+The Visconti5 VIIF driver always use only direct address to configure Video DMACs of the hardware.
+This design is to avoid great performance loss at coherency bus caused by massive memory access.
+You should not put the dma_coherent attribute to viif element in device tree.
+Cache operations are done automatically by videobuf2 driver.

+
+Configuration parameters
+========================
+
+The configuration parameters are passed to the
+:ref:`viif_params <viif_params>` metadata output video node, using
+the :c:type:`v4l2_meta_format` interface. The buffer contains
+a single instance of the C structure :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_config` defined in
+``visconti_viif.h``. So the structure can be obtained from the buffer by:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct visconti_viif_isp_config *params = (struct visconti_viif_isp_config*) buffer;
+
+VIIF statistics
+===============
+
+The VIIF device collects different statistics over an input Bayer frame.
+Those statistics are obtained from the :ref:`viif_stats <viif_stats>`
+metadata capture video node,
+using the :c:type:`v4l2_meta_format` interface. The buffer contains a single
+instance of the C structure :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_stat` defined in
+``visconti_viif.h``. So the structure can be obtained from the buffer by:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct visconti_viif_isp_stat *stats = (struct visconti_viif_isp_stat*) buffer;
+
+The statistics collected are Exposure, AWB (auto white balance) and errors.
+See :c:type:`visconti_viif_isp_stat` for details of the statistics.
+
+The statistics and configuration parameters described here are usually
+consumed and produced by dedicated user space libraries that comprise the
+tuning tools using software control loop.
