libcamera: ipu3: Always use sensor full frame size
When calculating the pipeline configuration for the IPU3 platform, libcamera tries to be smart and select the smallest sensor frame resolution large enough to accommodate the stream sizes requested by the application. While this makes a lot of sense, in practice optimizing the selected sensor resolution makes the pipeline configuration calculation process fail in multiple occasions, or results in stalls during capture. As a trivial example, capturing with cam with the following command line results in a stall: $ cam -swidth=1280,height=720 -swidth=640,height=480 -c1 -C Likewise, the Android HAL supported format enumeration fails in reporting smaller resolutions as supported when used with the OV5670 sensor. 320x240: DEBUG IPU3 ipu3.cpp:192 CIO2 configuration: 648x486-SGRBG10_IPU3 ERROR IPU3 imgu.cpp:408 Failed to calculate pipe configuration ERROR IPU3 ipu3.cpp:299 Failed to calculate pipe configuration: unsupported resolutions. 640x480: DEBUG IPU3 ipu3.cpp:192 CIO2 configuration: 320x240-SGRBG10_IPU3 ERROR IPU3 imgu.cpp:408 Failed to calculate pipe configuration ERROR IPU3 ipu3.cpp:299 Failed to calculate pipe configuration: unsupported resolutions. Furthermore the reference xml files used for the IPU3 camera configuration on the ChromeOS platform restricts the number of sensor resolution to be used for the OV5670 sensor to 2 from the 6 supported by the driver [1]. The selection criteria of the correct CIO2 mode are not specified, and for the time being, as a workaround, always use the sensor maximum resolution at the expense of frame rate and bus bandwidth to allow the pipeline to successfully support smaller modes for the OV5670 sensor and solve pipeline stalls when capturing with both sensors.
