[media] v4l: omap4iss: Add support for OMAP4 camera interface - Core
This adds a very simplistic driver to utilize the CSI2A interface inside the ISS subsystem in OMAP4, and dump the data to memory. Check Documentation/video4linux/omap4_camera.txt for details. This commit adds the driver core, registers definitions and documentation.

1 OMAP4 ISS Driver
2 ================
3
4Introduction
5------------
6
7The OMAP44XX family of chips contains the Imaging SubSystem (a.k.a. ISS),
8Which contains several components that can be categorized in 3 big groups:
9
10- Interfaces (2 Interfaces: CSI2-A & CSI2-B/CCP2)
11- ISP (Image Signal Processor)
12- SIMCOP (Still Image Coprocessor)
13
14For more information, please look in [1] for latest version of:
15 "OMAP4430 Multimedia Device Silicon Revision 2.x"
16
17As of Revision AB, the ISS is described in detail in section 8.
18
19This driver is supporting _only_ the CSI2-A/B interfaces for now.
20
21It makes use of the Media Controller framework [2], and inherited most of the
22code from OMAP3 ISP driver (found under drivers/media/platform/omap3isp/*),
23except that it doesn't need an IOMMU now for ISS buffers memory mapping.
24
25Supports usage of MMAP buffers only (for now).
26
27Tested platforms
