Jacopo Mondi 5b21b566b9 media: imx: Rename imx7-mipi-csis.c to imx-mipi-csis.c 
Rename the imx7-mipi-csis.c driver to remove the reference to i.MX7.

The driver is for an IP core found on i.MX7 and i.MX8 SoC, so do not
specify a SoC version number in the driver name.

Remove the references to the i.MX7 SoC in the driver symbols and expand
the driver's header with more information about the IP core the driver
controls.

Also rename the associated bindings documentation.

i.MX7 Video Capture Driver
==========================
Introduction
------------
The i.MX7 contrary to the i.MX5/6 family does not contain an Image Processing
Unit (IPU); because of that the capabilities to perform operations or
manipulation of the capture frames are less feature rich.
For image capture the i.MX7 has three units:
- CMOS Sensor Interface (CSI)
- Video Multiplexer
- MIPI CSI-2 Receiver

For additional information, please refer to the latest versions of the i.MX7
reference manual [#f1]_.
Entities
--------
imx-mipi-csi2
--------------
This is the MIPI CSI-2 receiver entity. It has one sink pad to receive the pixel
data from MIPI CSI-2 camera sensor. It has one source pad, corresponding to the
virtual channel 0. This module is compliant to previous version of Samsung
D-phy, and supports two D-PHY Rx Data lanes.
csi-mux
-------
This is the video multiplexer. It has two sink pads to select from either camera
sensor with a parallel interface or from MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 0. It has
a single source pad that routes to the CSI.
csi
---
The CSI enables the chip to connect directly to external CMOS image sensor. CSI
can interface directly with Parallel and MIPI CSI-2 buses. It has 256 x 64 FIFO
to store received image pixel data and embedded DMA controllers to transfer data
from the FIFO through AHB bus.
This entity has one sink pad that receives from the csi-mux entity and a single
source pad that routes video frames directly to memory buffers. This pad is
routed to a capture device node.
Usage Notes
-----------
To aid in configuration and for backward compatibility with V4L2 applications
that access controls only from video device nodes, the capture device interfaces
inherit controls from the active entities in the current pipeline, so controls
can be accessed either directly from the subdev or from the active capture
device interface. For example, the sensor controls are available either from the
sensor subdevs or from the active capture device.
Warp7 with OV2680
-----------------
On this platform an OV2680 MIPI CSI-2 module is connected to the internal MIPI
CSI-2 receiver. The following example configures a video capture pipeline with
an output of 800x600, and BGGR 10 bit bayer format:
.. code-block:: none
# Setup links
media-ctl -l "'ov2680 1-0036':0 -> 'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0[1]"
media-ctl -l "'imx7-mipi-csis.0':1 -> 'csi-mux':1[1]"
media-ctl -l "'csi-mux':2 -> 'csi':0[1]"
media-ctl -l "'csi':1 -> 'csi capture':0[1]"
# Configure pads for pipeline
media-ctl -V "'ov2680 1-0036':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
media-ctl -V "'csi-mux':1 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
media-ctl -V "'csi-mux':2 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
media-ctl -V "'imx7-mipi-csis.0':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
media-ctl -V "'csi':0 [fmt:SBGGR10_1X10/800x600 field:none]"
After this streaming can start. The v4l2-ctl tool can be used to select any of
the resolutions supported by the sensor.

i.MX6ULL-EVK with OV5640
------------------------
On this platform a parallel OV5640 sensor is connected to the CSI port.
The following example configures a video capture pipeline with an output
of 640x480 and UYVY8_2X8 format:
.. code-block:: none
# Setup links
media-ctl -l "'ov5640 1-003c':0 -> 'csi':0[1]"
media-ctl -l "'csi':1 -> 'csi capture':0[1]"
# Configure pads for pipeline
media-ctl -v -V "'ov5640 1-003c':0 [fmt:UYVY8_2X8/640x480 field:none]"
After this streaming can start:
.. code-block:: none
