The media subsystem updates were sent out this morning for the now-open Linux 6.19 merge window. There are some new Rockchip drivers and other media drivers that are new for Linux 6.19.

The first new Rockchip driver is the VICAP RKCIF driver. This driver has been in the works for a while and going through a number of rounds of review for supporting the Rockchip Camera Interface “CIF”. This is used by the Rockchip PX30 Video Input Processor (VIP), Digital Video Port (DVP), and RK3568 Video Capture (VICAP) unit. This driver takes care of mainline support for this Rockchip Camera Interface and hardware-wise for Linux 6.19 is focused on the PX30, RK3568 VICAP DVP, and RK3568 VICAP MIPI interface.
