Just looking at this; we're currently using this with the ov2680 driver
that's in mainline currently (with very minor tweaks) plus a
hacked-into-roughly-working version of the atomisp-ov5693 driver (ACPI
ID INT33BE = ov5693 physical device). Neither of those drivers lists any
link frequencies, nor provides a link frequency control for v4l2 to work
with.

On the other hand, the ov5648 [1] and ov8865 [2] drivers which Paul has
submitted recently, which we also want to be able to support, _do_
include that. I can register the frequencies Paul's defined there as a
link-frequencies property but this gives rise to two questions:


1. Is this _mandatory_? Do I need to be finding the link-frequencies for
the OV2680 and OV5693 drivers too? Or can I skip that property where the
driver doesn't handle it anyway. Seems to be working fine without
controlling it in driver.
2. Can I trust all the values in the drivers to be available on each
platform? For example for the ov5648 Paul lists these as available:

938static const s64 ov5648_link_freq_menu[] = {


939 210000000,


940 168000000,


941};

But can I safely register a link-frequencies property for both of those
and trust that that'll work on all IPU3 platforms with an ov5648 in them?

Thanks
Dan
