PATCH v2 1/1 vsp1: fix video output on R8A77970

Laurent has added support for the VSP2-D found on R-Car V3M (R8A77970) but the video output that VSP2-D sends to DU has a greenish garbage-like line repeated every 8 or so screen rows. It turns out that V3M has a teeny LIF register (at least it's documented!) that you need to set to some kind of a magic value for the LIF to work correctly...

Based on the original (and large) patch by Daisuke Matsushita <[email protected]>.

Fixes d455b45f8393 ("v4l: vsp1: Add support for new VSP2-BS, VSP2-DL and VSP2-D instances")

---
This patch is against the 'media_tree.git' repo's 'master' branch.

Changes in version 2:
- added a comment before the V3M SoC check;
- fixed indetation in that check;
- reformatted the patch description.

Hi Sergei,

Thank you for the patch.

I'm not sure about the "kinda" magic value. 1536 is very likely a buffer size. How about the following text ?

/*
* On V3M the LBA register has to be set to a non-default value to
* guarantee proper operation (otherwise artifacts may appear on the

The commit message should also be updated to feel a bit less magic.

 }

The datasheet documents the register as being present on both V3M and M3-W (and the test I've just run on H3 shows that the register is present there as well). Should we program it on M3-W or leave it to the default value that should be what is recommended by the datasheet for that SoC ?
