    "content": "Some kernel drivers give their entities names that will differ from\nimplementation to implementation; for example the drivers for the\nCamera Receiver Unit and CSI-2 receiver in the RZ/V2H SoC give their\nentities names that include their memory address, in the format\n\"csi-16000400.csi2\". Passing that entity name to\nMediaDevice::getEntityByName() is too inflexible given it would only\nthen work if that specific CSI-2 receiver were the one being used.\n\nUpdate MediaDevice::getEntityByName() such that the string passed to\nit is used to create a std::basic_regex, and use std::regex_search()\ninstead of a direct string comparison to find a matching entity. This\nallows us to pass a string that will form a regex to match to the\nentity instead, for example \"csi-[0-9]{8}.csi2\".\n\nSigned-off-by: Daniel Scally <dan.scally@ideasonboard.com>\n---\n src/libcamera/media_device.cpp   | 12 ++++++++----\n src/libcamera/v4l2_subdevice.cpp |  4 ++--\n 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)",
