For instances, a platform may have multiple CSI-2 receivers but a\n+ * single DMA engine, prohibiting usage of multiple cameras concurrently. This\n+ * depends heavily on the hardware architecture, which the simple pipeline\n+ * handler has no a priori knowledge of. The pipeline handler thus implements a\n+ * heuristic to handle sharing of hardware resources in a generic fashion.\n+ *\n+ * Two cameras are considered to be mutually exclusive if their share common\n+ * pads along the pipeline from the camera sensor to the video node. An entity\n+ * can thus be used concurrently by multiple cameras, as long as pads are\n+ * distinct.\n+ *\n+ * A resource reservation mechanism is implemented by the SimplePipelineHandler\n+ * acquirePipeline() and releasePipeline() functions to manage exclusive access\n+ * to pads. A camera reserves all the pads present in its pipeline when it is\n+ * started, and the start() function returns an error if any of the required\n+ * pads is already in use.
