34 | | - As above, there are parent and child devices, child mean each hardware. The child device |
35 | | - controls the information of each hardware independent which include clk/power/irq. |
36 | | -
|
37 | | - There are two workqueues in parent device: lat workqueue and core workqueue. They are used |
38 | | - to lat and core hardware decoder. Lat workqueue need to get input bitstream and lat buffer, |
39 | | - then enable lat to decode, writing the result to lat buffer, dislabe hardware when lat decode |
40 | | - done. Core workqueue need to get lat buffer and output buffer, then enable core to decode, |
41 | | - writing the result to output buffer, disable hardware when core decode done. These two |
42 | | - hardwares will decode each frame cyclically. |
43 | | -
|
44 | | - For the smi common may not the same for each hardware, can't combine all hardware in one node, |
45 | | - or leading to iommu fault when access dram data. |
46 | | -
|
47 | | - Lat soc is a hardware which is related with some larb(local arbiter) ports. For mt8195 |
48 | | - platform, there are some ports like RDMA, UFO in lat soc larb, need to enable its power and |
49 | | - clock when lat start to work, don't have interrupt. |

| 13 | + MediaTek Video Decode Accelerator is the video decoding hardware present in |
| 14 | + MediaTek SoCs that supports high-resolution decoding functionalities. |
| 15 | + It consists of parent and child nodes. |
| 16 | +
|
| 17 | + The decoder hardware block diagram is shown below: |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | + +------------------------------------------------+------------------------------+ |
| 20 | + | | | |
| 21 | + | input -> LAT-SoC HW -> LAT HW -> LAT buffer --|--> Core HW -> output buffer | |
| 22 | + | || || | || | |
| 23 | + +--------------||-----------||-------------------+-------||---------------------+ |
| 24 | + LAT Workqueue | Core Workqueue <parent> |

| 29 | + | enable/disable | |

| 31 | + | (lat/lat-soc/core0/core1) | |

|
| 34 | + The child nodes represent the individual hardware blocks within the decoding |
| 35 | + pipeline, such as LAT-SoC, LAT and Core. |
| 36 | + Each child node is responsible for managing the dedicated resources of the |
| 37 | + hardware, such as clocks, power domains, interrupts and IOMMUs. |
| 38 | +
|
| 39 | + The parent node is a central point of control for the child nodes. |
| 40 | + It identifies the specific video decoding pipeline architecture used by the |
| 41 | + SoC, manages the shared resources like workqueues and platform data, and |
| 42 | + handles V4L2 API calls on behalf of the underlying hardware. |
| 43 | +
|
| 44 | + The parent utilizes two workqueues to manage the decoding process. |
| 45 | + 1. LAT Workqueue, for LAT-SoC and LAT decoder: |
| 46 | + Its workers take input bitstream and LAT buffer, enable the hardware for |
| 47 | + decoding tasks, write the result to LAT buffer, and disable the hardware |
| 48 | + after the LAT decoding is done. |
| 49 | + 2. Core Workqueue, for Core decoder: |
| 50 | + Its workers take LAT buffer and output buffer, enable the hardware for |
| 51 | + decoding tasks, write the result to output buffer, and disable the hardware |
| 52 | + after the Core decoding is done. |
| 53 | +
|
| 54 | + These hardware decode each frame cyclically. |
| 55 | +
|
| 56 | + The hardware might be associated with different SMI-common devices. |
| 57 | + To prevent IOMMU faults during DRAM access in such cases, each hardware with |
| 58 | + the unique SMI-common device must be placed under a separate parent node in |
| 59 | + the device tree. |
| 60 | +
|
| 61 | + LAT-SoC refers to another hardware block that connected to additional LARB |
| 62 | + (local arbiter) ports, such as RDMA and UFO. |
| 63 | + It requires independent power and clock control to work with LAT decoder, and |
| 64 | + it doesn't have a dedicated interrupt. |
| 65 | +
|
| 66 | + The used video decoding pipeline architecture across various Mediatek SoC: |
| 67 | + MT8195: LAT-SoC + LAT + Core |
| 68 | + MT8192: LAT + Core |
| 69 | + MT8188: LAT + Core |
| 70 | + MT8186: Core |
