media: subdev: Split v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough() into locked and unlocked

2026-03-24T10:58:02+00:00

The recently added v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough() can be used directly as an implementation for .get_frame_desc subdev op. However, in some cases the drivers may want to add some customizations, while the bulk of the work is still identical to what v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough() does. Current locking scheme makes this impossible to do properly. Split v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough() into two functions: __v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough(), which takes a locked subdev state as a parameter, instead of locking and getting the active state internally. Other than that, it does the same as v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough() used to do. v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough(), which locks the active state and calls __v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough(). In other words, v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough() works as before, but drivers can now alternatively add custom .get_frame_desc code and call v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough(). An example use case is with DS90UB953 serializer: in normal use the serializer passes through everything, but when test-pattern-generator (TPG) is used, an internal TPG source is used. After this commit, the UB953 get_frame_desc() can lock the state, look at the routing table to see if we're in normal or TPG mode, then either call __v4l2_subdev_get_frame_desc_passthrough() if in normal mode, or construct a TPG frame desc if in TPG mode.

media: v4l2-fwnode: Return -EPROBE_DEFER on parsing NULL endpoints

2026-03-24T10:58:02+00:00

In general drivers get their firmware graph endpoints from system firmware, but on some systems this information is conveyed to drivers via software nodes. The software nodes may be instantiated only after the drivers are first probed, requiring drivers to explicitly issue -EPROBE_DEFER when endpoints aren't found. Instead of doing this in all (or at least most) drivers, make v4l2-fwnode endpoint parsing functions v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_parse() and v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_alloc_parse() return -EPROBE_DEFER when an endpoint is NULL.

media: lirc: increase IR_MAX_DURATION to send extended code sequences

2026-03-17T13:43:57+00:00

sensor:increase IR_MAX_DURATION to 1000ms to fix long IR remote timeouts Certain infrared remotes (e.g., brand-specific smart home remotes, custom consumer electronics) send extended code sequences that exceed the default 500ms IR_MAX_DURATION threshold. This causes the kernel's raw IR driver to discard incomplete code, resulting in unrecognized commands. Increase IR_MAX_DURATION to 1000ms: - Aligns with common extended IR protocol specs (most long sequences use 700-900ms) - No impact on standard remotes (all mainstream IR codes are <500ms) - Validated on vivo X200 and vivo X300, resolves timeout issues without regressions Signed-off-by: LiPeng Huang Signed-off-by: Sean Young Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil

media: rc: fix race between unregister and urb/irq callbacks

2026-03-17T13:43:56+00:00

Some rc device drivers have a race condition between rc_unregister_device() and irq or urb callbacks. This is because rc_unregister_device() does two things, it marks the device as unregistered so no new commands can be issued and then it calls rc_free_device(). This means the driver has no chance to cancel any pending urb callbacks or interrupts after the device has been marked as unregistered. Those callbacks may access struct rc_dev or its members (e.g. struct ir_raw_event_ctrl), which have been freed by rc_free_device(). This change removes the implicit call to rc_free_device() from rc_unregister_device(). This means that device drivers can call rc_unregister_device() in their remove or disconnect function, then cancel all the urbs and interrupts before explicitly calling rc_free_device(). Note this is an alternative fix for an issue found by Haotian Zhang, see the Closes: tags.

v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_parse() and v4l2_fwnode_endpoint_alloc_parse() take a fwnode as the first argument and leave it up to the caller to check a valid fwnode has been obtained through various means.

The vast majority of the callers of v4l2_ctrl_new_fwnode_properties() do check the returned error code but the function does not set the control handler's error on failure. This will make error handling more complicated and prone for bugs. Always assign the control handler's error field on error in v4l2_ctrl_new_fwnode_properties().
