The Atmel ISC driver will be moved to staging to support old users that are not using the media controller paradigm. The ISC driver was converted to media controller in the public patch series: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220503095127.48710-1-eugen.hristev@microchip.com/T/#m2c320fa8153c01379a1c35b1d90a00903949513a However the conversion cannot be done directly as it would affect existing users by breaking the old way of configuration for sama5d2 platforms. After discussions with the media maintainers, the decision is to move Atmel ISC to staging as-is, to keep the Kconfig symbols and the users to the driver in staging. Thus, all the existing users of the non media-controller paradigm will continue to be happy and use the old config way. The converted driver would support both sama5d2 and sama7g5 platforms with media controller paradigm, but it requires userspace configuration of the pipeline for all the pipeline modules. In a simple configuration sensor ==> isc , the old isc driver used to call subdev s_fmt and control the sensor directly. This was achieved by having a lot of code inside the driver that was querying the subdev at probe time and made a list of formats which are usable. Basically the user had nothing to configure, as the isc would handle everything at the top level. This was an easy way to capture, but also came with the drawback of lack of flexibility. In a more complicated pipeline sensor ==> controller 1 ==> controller 2 ==> isc this would not be achievable, as controller 1 and controller 2 might be media-controller configurable, and will not propagate the formats down to the sensor. The new driver Microchip ISC would solve all these problems and exposes pads entities and links to userspace. For the ease of tracking, the patches that convert to media controller come on top of this patch that simply readds the driver to the new location under the new Kconfig symbols. To differentiate between the old driver and the new driver, I have renamed the new driver to Microchip ISC, renaming the Kconfig symbols as well, and all the mentions inside the driver. The only thing that remains common is the file include/linux/atmel-isc-media.h which is the ABI for the v4l2 custom controls that the ISC exposes. This file is used by both driver, so I kept it as-is. To further avoid confusion all files have been renamed and all functions named isc_* as well. The exported symbols have been renamed with added microchip_ prefix, to avoid symbol duplication with the old driver, and to avoid confusion. Other than that, I have fixed small checkpatch issues when readding the driver.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
