Note: WIP tag added, as not everything from the previous review round has
been addressed.

# Short summary

This patch series extends the Qualcomm CAMSS (Camera Subsystem),
including CSID and CSIPHY components, to support C-PHY mode configuration.

# Background and motivation

Modern smartphone cameras increasingly rely on MIPI C-PHY rather than 
D-PHY, thanks to its higher data throughput and signal efficiency.
As a result, many OEMs adopt C-PHY interfaces for main (rear) cameras on
Qualcomm-based devices.

Until now, mainline Linux lacked C-PHY configuration support for Qualcomm
chipsets, preventing bring-up of primary camera sensors on several
Snapdragon platforms. This series closes that gap.

 - Introduces C-PHY configuration support for the CAMSS driver stack,
   covering both CSID and CSIPHY blocks.
 - Successfully enables C-PHY operation on the Snapdragon 845 platform.
 - Tested on OnePlus 6 and 6T phones running mainline Linux,
   using the Sony IMX519 main camera sensor.
 - The new configuration allows other chipsets versionsto enable C-PHY by
   simply adding corresponding sensor driver support and csiphy
   initialization data, following the example set for sdm845.

With this patch series, mainline Linux gains working C-PHY support for
Snapdragon 845, paving the way for improved main camera functionality
across many Qualcomm-based devices. The groundwork also simplifies
future enablement efforts for additional SoCs and sensors.

Until merged, the series will be also available at:

Changes in v9:
- Dropped Cc and Fixes tag for "csiphy-3ph: Fix lane mask calculation"
  and reordered the commit.
  (Vladimir)
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v8:
- Refactor the for cycle in csiphy_is_gen2 same way as
  csiphy_get_lane_mask(). (Frank)
- Dropped T-b/R-b/A-b from
  "media: qcom: camss: Account for C-PHY when calculating link frequency"
  as I did refactored the commit to not rely on `csiphy_id`. (Wenmeng)
- csiphy_get_lane_mask calculation fix. (Wenmeng)
- csiphy_lanes_enable now uses csiphy_get_lane_mask. (Wenmeng)
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v7:
- Move logic out of switch. (Frank)
- Change csid cphy knob to phy_sel using enum. (Bryan, Frank)
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v6:
- lanes_enable now uses WARN_ONCE instead of return values. (Sakari)
- Dropped Kodiak patch until it gets better documented.
- Document the 3ph C-PHY sdm845 registers a bit.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v5:
- Split first patch enabling C-PHY part into last patch. (Bryan)
- Fix the camss_get_link_freq crash. (Cory)
- Dropped patch whitelisting C-PHY, instead use nullptr check. (Bryan)
- Dropped A-b/R-b from
 "media: qcom: camss: Initialize lanes after lane configuration is available"
 and changed Petr to Co-developed by and owned the patch.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v4:
- Documented cphy parametr to camss_get_link_freq.
- Use BIT() macro for lane_mask. (Bryan)
- Correct lane_mask calculation. (Kieran + me)
- Removed comment for the D/C-PHY sequences init. (Bryan)
- Pass &csid->phy for calculate freq. (Bryan)
- Added missing cphy description to camss_get_link_freq. (kernel test robot)
- Gen2 v1.1 MIPI CSI-2 CPHY init hex to lowercase.
- Added back missed commit with improved electrical for sdm845 3ph.
- NOT addressed yet:
  - Proliferating special cases in switch statements on a per-SoC basis is verboten. 
  - is it possible to set clock_lane to say 0xff in DT ? 
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v3:
- Make lanes_enable return sucess or error, since I couldn't move the
  configuration to the _init.
- Dropped R-b tags on
  "media: qcom: camss: Initialize lanes after lane configuration is available"
  as I changed formatting.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

Changes in v2:
- This is still WIP patch series, thus I wanted to publish already
  changed parts to get feedback regarding to the direction of patchset.
- When switch to using odd bits, zeroed val which was left unitialized in v1.
- Accidentally missed archs added back in the commit moving lane regs to
  new location.
- Remove commit with reverting check for only D-PHY is supported and
  adjusted the check to also account for C-PHY.
- Documented link frequency calculation with defines. (Casey)
- Changed the cphy boolean to phy_cfg enum in the camss/camss-csiphy.
  (Brian)
- Added patch for csiphy-3ph enablement for sm7280 from Luca as I'm
  meanwhile trying to bring up the C-PHY sensor on FairPhone 5.
- Merged these two commits together
    csiphy-3ph: Enable sdm845 C-PHY sequence
    csiphy-3ph: Add Gen2 v1.1 MIPI CSI-2 CPHY init
  merged R-b.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
