Hi Sakari, Thanks for the comments!

Well, I'd like to hear more opinions but in principle I'd agree with you. <cut> -- regards, Stan

The pixelformat is set by the application, and it is not set by the incoming video format. Of course, a change in the incoming video format might force a pixelformat change, but that's not what is signaled here. This event just indicates that something changed w.r.t. the video source and the flag specifies that is it the bit depth. So I think this patch is OK (but see the small comment below) since it correctly describes what changed. > >> >> Signed-off-by: Stanimir Varbanov <stanimir.varbanov@linaro.org> >> --- >> Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/vidioc-dqevent.rst | 7 +++++++ >> Documentation/media/videodev2.h.rst.exceptions | 1 + >> include/uapi/linux/videodev2.h | 1 + >> 3 files changed, 9 insertions(+) >> >> diff --git a/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/vidioc-dqevent.rst b/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/vidioc-dqevent.rst >> index dea9c0cc00ab..92573d7c3e05 100644 >> --- a/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/vidioc-dqevent.rst >> +++ b/Documentation/media/uapi/v4l/vidioc-dqevent.rst >> @@ -397,6 +397,13 @@ call. >> that many devices are not able to recover from a temporary loss of >> signal and so restarting streaming I/O is required in order for the >> hardware to synchronize to the video signal. >> + * - ``V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_BITDEPTH`` >> + - 0x0002 >> + - This event gets triggered when bit-depth change is detected from a >> + video decoder.

For the future I would also like to see a V4L2_EVENT_SRC_CH_COLORIMETRY flag to indicate when the colorimetry of the video changes. It's actually something that would be of use for vivid today.

This event indicate that the source bit-depth is changed during run-time. The client must get the new format and re-allocate buffers for it. This can usually happens with video decoder (encoders) when the bit-stream depth is changed from 8 to 10bits or vice versa.
