Please replace these with names macros where possible. I'm sure quite a
few of the registers configured here are documented in the datasheet.
The registers that configure the mode (analog crop, digital crop,
binning, skipping, ...) should be computed dynamically from the subdev
pad format and selection rectangles, not hardcoded.

I agree, but we get the sensor settings based on our requirements from
the vendor, i will check if we can get some more info regarding the
crop, binning, skipping etc...

Some of this infomation should be available in the datasheet. Use at
least the register names that can be found, for those that can't there's
not much that could be done.

Sorry to say that I don't have the details in this case. We have
previously reached out to the sensor vendor, but they are not willing to
disclose any of these details. We hope for your understanding of the
constraints we're facing and truly value your support.


If you have a spec of OV05C10 (I assume you do, as the developer of this
driver), it is not a issue.
Take P0:0x14 as an example, it's named as DPLL_NC_SEL in spec and set to
0x78 in your reglist ov05c10_2888x1808_regs. If define all named
registers rather than the confusing magic hardcode, the driver code will
be more readable and easy to review.
I think this is what Sakari thought.

Yes. And even if it happens that a register write slips to a wrong list,
we can fix it later.

I agree with the suggestion on proper naming of register offsets, but unfortunately we lack access to the spec. We are completely relying on the sensor vendor for these sequences, which they are not willing to share the details.

Thanks,
Pratap
