If that is true, why is it not in a "uapi" subdir within this driver?

Otherwise it is not obvious at all that this is the case :(

Mitali,

It's not very relevant given the use of this header, but if the 1 << 15
translation was correct, you could have changed the 1 << 12 computation as
well.

It defines an interface towards the user space and the argument has been a
staging driver shouldn't be doing that (for the lack of ABI stability),
hence leaving it where it is currently.

I think we are talking past each other here...

If you have a userspace api, then put that in a .h file that has a
"uapi" in the path. Just because you have this in a staging driver does
not mean you should not have such a thing, otherwise you are going to
constantly fight against people sending you patches like this as there
is no obvious way to determine this.

So how about moving this file to:
drivers/staging/media/ipu3/include/uapi/intel-ipu3.h
