This adds Serial Camera Control Bus (SCCB) support for regmap API that
is intended to be used by some of Omnivision sensor drivers.
The ov772x and ov9650 drivers are going to use this SCCB regmap API.
The ov772x driver was previously only worked with the i2c controller
drivers that support I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING, because the ov772x
device doesn't support repeated starts. After commit 0b964d183cbf
("media: ov772x: allow i2c controllers without
I2C_FUNC_PROTOCOL_MANGLING"), reading ov772x register is replaced with
issuing two separated i2c messages in order to avoid repeated start.
Using this SCCB regmap hides the implementation detail.
The ov9650 driver also issues two separated i2c messages to read the
registers as the device doesn't support repeated start. So it can
make use of this SCCB regmap.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
