+Introduction
+------------
+
+This file documents the Texas Instruments OMAP 3 Image Signal Processor (ISP)
+driver located under drivers/media/platform/omap3isp. The original driver was
+written by Texas Instruments but since that it has been rewritten (twice) at
+Nokia.
+
+The driver has been successfully used on the following versions of OMAP 3:
+
+- 3430
+- 3530
+- 3630
+
+The driver implements V4L2, Media controller and v4l2_subdev interfaces.
+Sensor, lens and flash drivers using the v4l2_subdev interface in the kernel
+are supported.
+
+
+Split to subdevs
+----------------
+
+The OMAP 3 ISP is split into V4L2 subdevs, each of the blocks inside the ISP
+having one subdev to represent it. Each of the subdevs provide a V4L2 subdev
+interface to userspace.
+
+- OMAP3 ISP CCP2
+- OMAP3 ISP CSI2a
+- OMAP3 ISP CCDC
+- OMAP3 ISP preview
+- OMAP3 ISP resizer
+- OMAP3 ISP AEWB
+- OMAP3 ISP AF
+- OMAP3 ISP histogram
+
+Each possible link in the ISP is modelled by a link in the Media controller
+interface. For an example program see [#]_.
+
+
+Controlling the OMAP 3 ISP
+--------------------------
+
+In general, the settings given to the OMAP 3 ISP take effect at the beginning
+of the following frame. This is done when the module becomes idle during the
+vertical blanking period on the sensor. In memory-to-memory operation the pipe
+is run one frame at a time. Applying the settings is done between the frames.
+
+All the blocks in the ISP, excluding the CSI-2 and possibly the CCP2 receiver,
+insist on receiving complete frames. Sensors must thus never send the ISP
+partial frames.
+
+Autoidle does have issues with some ISP blocks on the 3430, at least.
+Autoidle is only enabled on 3630 when the omap3isp module parameter autoidle
+is non-zero.
