    "content": "In the context of per frame controls I believe it is easier to think\nabout what needs to be done for a specific sequence number.\n\nSo (assuming a max sensor delay of 2) the actions would be:\n\n- delayedControls.push(n) stores the controls that shall be active on\n  frame n\n- delayedControls.get(n) returns these controls again\n- delayedControls.apply(n) applies the slowest control for frame n and\n  does a look back on other controls. So when a frameStart for frame n\noccurs, it is time to call delayedControls.apply(n + maxDelay)\n\nChanging these semantics on delayed controls doesn't require much code\nchange and has the added benefit that we don't run in to clamping for\nget() on frames < maxDelay.\n\nToDo: This breaks the delayed controls test at the moment. The tests\nneed to be fixed and other pipelines need to be adjusted accordingly.\n\nSigned-off-by: Stefan Klug <stefan.klug@ideasonboard.com>\n---\n src/libcamera/delayed_controls.cpp       | 15 ++++++++-------\n src/libcamera/pipeline/rkisp1/rkisp1.cpp |  5 +++--\n test/meson.build                         |  2 +-\n 3 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-)",
