    "content": "Hi,\n\nThis series of patches convert the Raspberry Pi pipeline handler to a more\nmedia controller centric mode of operation.  In particular, we set/get formats\nand controls directly on the sensor subdevice instead of proxying through the\nunicam driver node.\n\nNote that these changes rely on https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/pull/4645\nbeing merged into our kernel tree.  That merge will need to be synchronised with\nmerging this change into the libcamera upstream tree else we will have a mismatch\nbetween kernel and userland.  In such cases, the pipeline handler will throw an\nerror and fail to start.\n\nThanks,\nNaush\n\nNaushir Patuck (6):\n  libcamera: bayer_format: Add conversion helpers to the BayerFormat\n    class\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Convert the pipeline handler to use media\n    controller\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Return a PixelFormat from findBestMode()\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Remove \"unpacked\" format penalty in mode\n    selection\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Account for a missing Unicam embedded data node\n  pipeline: raspberrypi: Apply sensor flips at the start of configure()\n\n include/libcamera/internal/bayer_format.h     |   4 +\n src/libcamera/bayer_format.cpp                |  31 +++\n .../pipeline/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp      | 229 +++++++++++-------\n 3 files changed, 170 insertions(+), 94 deletions(-)"
