Subject: [PATCH 1/2] media: ov5645: Supported external clock is 24MHz

The external clock frequency was set to 23.88MHz by mistake
because of a platform which cannot get closer to 24MHz.
The supported by the driver external clock is 24MHz so
set it correctly and also fix the values of the pixel
clock and link clock.
However allow 1% tolerance to the external clock as this
difference is small enough to be insignificant.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] media: ov5645: Report number of skip frames

The OV5645 supports automatic exposure (AE) and automatic white
balance (AWB). When streaming is started it takes up to 5 frames
until the AE and AWB converge and output a frame with good quality.

Implement g_skip_frames to report number of frames to be skipped
when streaming is started.

The frames aren't bad as such; it's just that the AE hasn't converged yet.
I presume the number of the frames needed depends on the lighting
conditions.

The g_skip_frames is intended to tell the frames really are bad, i.e.
distorted or broken somehow.

I wouldn't discard them on the grounds of unconverged exposure. If we did,
then on which other grounds should the frames be discarded as well? Does
the white balance and focus need to be converged as well before considering
the frames good, for instance?

If you need this, I'd use a control instead to tell AE has converged.

I wonder what others think.

Hi Sakari,

Thank you for the reply and sorry for not following up on this for so long.

Yes, the number of frames (for AE and AWB converge) is different in
different conditions. From testing I see usually 4 frames are needed,
in more rare cases - 5 frames. The sensor doesn't provide any information
about the state of the algorithms - are they currently converged or not.
So the driver has no way to check that or tell for sure.

I was about to say that if the exposure is severely wrong then they are
bad enough to not be used, which means that they are anyway bad, however...

...I agree that this measure for a bad vs not bad frame is quite subjective
(when we have no feedback about the state of the algorithms).

It would be nice to hear any ideas if anyone has any. I wonder whether the
driver can do anything useful besides leaving it to the userspace.
