    [media] v4l: vsp1: Support runtime modification of controls · fc845e52
    Laurent Pinchart authored
    Controls are applied to the hardware in the configure operation of the
    VSP entities, which is only called when starting the video stream. To
    enable runtime modification of controls we need to call the configure
    operations for every frame. Doing so is currently not safe, as most
    parameters shouldn't be modified during streaming. Furthermore the
    configure operation can sleep, preventing it from being called from the
    frame completion interrupt handler for the next frame.
    
    Fix this by adding an argument to the configure operation to tell
    entities whether to perform a full configuration (as done now) or a
    partial runtime configuration. In the latter case the operation will
    only configure the subset of parameters related to runtime-configurable
    controls, and won't be allowed to sleep when doing so.
    
    Because partial reconfiguration can depend on parameters computed when
    performing a full configuration, the core guarantees that the configure
    operation will always be called with full and partial modes in that
    order at stream start. Entities thus don't have to duplicate
    configuration steps in the full and partial code paths.
    
    This change affects the VSP driver core only, all entities return
    immediately from the configure operation when called for a partial
    runtime configuration. Entities will be modified one by one in further
    commits.
