The IMX678 (8MPix) driver has been accepted. Whilst preparing a patchset for IMX662 (1080p), I observed such commonality between the two that it seemed sensible to attempt a common driver rather than submitting a separate IMX662 series again. On checking my box of sensors, I found I had an IMX675 (5MPix) as well, so that has been incorporated. This set proposes a common driver that is working with all 3 of those sensors. It's sent as an RFC to gather confirmation that the resulting driver structure is acceptable as implied by [1]. If it is viewed as acceptable then there is still a modest amount of tidying up required: - DT binding updates for the extra compatibles. - Rename the common functions so that the model references are only on the model specific parts. - Add the Sony init sequence for IMX662. - Check the init sequence for IMX675 (I'm waiting on a datasheet). - Update the 2 lane mode handling of HMAX. IMX662 can achieve the same maximum framerate in 2 lane mode with a link freq of 594MHz or greater, and I suspect others can do so too. - Hopefully add IMX585 (8MPix) to the supported list, and Jai has mentioned IMX676 (12MPix) as well. I wanted to confirm that there aren't any major objections before doing those cleanups though. For anyone testing on a Pi, I've thrown a branch at [2] which includes overlays for each. I've tested with modules from Soho Enterprises, but there seem to be a few different vendors around.
