iMX8 MIPI CSI - base address switching Change Err

[joe_sandom]

I'm currently in the process of integrating an image sensor (RAW12/10/8) with the potential of outputting 4K at 60fps and full HD at 120fps with the iMX8MQ SOM by SolidRun. The carrier board in use is the Hummingboard Pulse and the image sensor has a custom adaptor board to meet the pin-out requirements of the iMX8MQ SOM.

The image sensor in use has been verified with the Nvidia Jetson TX2 developer kit and the drivers have been ported over to the iMX8. The device drivers and device tree nodes have been added and i2c communication with the image sensor has been verified. Based on the iMX8 System Reference Manual, the mx6s_capture.c driver has been modified to allow for RAW10 configuration and the following format has been added as a supported format; 

        .name       = "RAWRGB10 (SBGGR10)",

        .fourcc     = V4L2_PIX_FMT_SBGGR10,

        .pixelformat    = V4L2_PIX_FMT_SBGGR10,

        .mbus_code  = MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SBGGR10_1X10,

        .bpp        = 2,

The following commands were entered in order to test streaming; 

v4l2-ctl --set-fmt-video=width=1920,height=1080,pixelformat=BG10

v4l2-ctl --stream-mmap

The base device tree entry for the mipi_csi_1 node is listed as the following;

    mipi_csi_1: mipi_csi1@30a70000 {

        compatible = "fsl,mxc-mipi-csi2_yav";

        reg = <0x0 0x30a70000 0x0 0x1000>; /* MIPI CSI1 Controller base addr */

        interrupts = <GIC_SPI 44 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>;

        clocks = <&clk IMX8MQ_CLK_DUMMY>,

                <&clk IMX8MQ_CLK_CSI1_CORE>,

                <&clk IMX8MQ_CLK_CSI1_ESC>,

                <&clk IMX8MQ_CLK_CSI1_PHY_REF>;

        clock-names = "clk_apb", "clk_core", "clk_esc", "clk_pxl";

        assigned-clocks = <&clk IMX8MQ_CLK_CSI1_CORE>,

                 <&clk IMX8MQ_CLK_CSI1_PHY_REF>,

                 <&clk IMX8MQ_CLK_CSI1_ESC>;

        assigned-clock-rates = <266000000>, <150000000>, <66000000>;

        power-domains = <&mipi_csi1_pd>;

        csis-phy-reset = <&src 0x4c 7>;

        phy-gpr = <&gpr 0x88>;

        status = "disabled";

    };

Upon starting the stream, the following error is seen: 'Base address switching change err'. From my understanding of the reference manual, the embedded DMA controller will write the frame buffer 1 and then buffer 2, the start address should be aligned in word and set in the CSIDMASA-FB1 and CSIDMASA-FB2 registers. From looking at the debug output, buffer 1 is written and then the base address switching change error occurs. Does anyone know why this is happening? From looking at previous questions in the forums, it seems like a platform clock issue. Can anyone confirm this?
