Re: [PATCH] media: imx219: fix test pattern ordering and add patterns

Hi Jai,

Thanks for the review

> Do you have a strong reason to switch this to the datasheet values?

I must say there is no strong reason. I'm totally new here and come from
the perspective of someone studying how to write a camera sensor driver.
The datasheet says that writing 0x1 to reg 0x0601 will set the mode to solid
color test pattern. So it is "natural" to expect that I should set
test_pattern=1 to do so via v4l2-ctl.

This was totally oblivious to me when I made the change.
I agree with you on this point. Breaking userspace does not sound like
a good idea.

I'm open to making a v3 patch and only introduce new test patterns to
the driver.

Best,
Tharit
