Towards Mainline Video Capture and Camera Support for Recent Rockchip SoCs
summary
Mainline work targets the RK35 family RK3566/3568/3588/3576 and aims to expose WCAP, MEPCSI/CSI2 receivers, the MAX/scaler and ISPs via V4L2 + the media controller so apps see real devices. Current patches (v10+) enable RK3566/68 recap and CSI bits; the blocker is MAX/scaler and coordinated ISP scheduling for two ISPs (RK3588) with inline and memory‑to‑memory modes. Hardware supports up to 7 sensors, many virtual channels and up to 24 MEP DMA engines; raw capture and full ISP chains are still WIP, libcamera/pipewire/gstreamer are the intended users.
