The link validation function is called for +every link in the pipeline where both of the ends of the links are V4L2 +sub-devices. The driver is still responsible for validating the correctness +of the format configuration between sub-devices and video nodes. + +If link_validate op is not set, the default function +v4l2_subdev_link_validate_default() is used instead. This function ensures +that width, height and the media bus pixel code are equal on both source and +sink of the link. Subdev drivers are also free to use this function to +perform the checks mentioned above in addition to their own checks. + A device (bridge) driver needs to register the v4l2_subdev with the v4l2_device: |
