    "content": "Hello,\n   quite a few changes compared to v4, mostly on the V4L2Control and\nV4L2Controls side to work around the badly performing get() and set()\nmethods implemented in v4.\n\n- Remove V4L2Controls::get() and set() as they iterated on the controls\n  vector unecessarly\n- By removing 'set()' now control cannot be updated and reused\n- Make the operations to set and get a V4L2Control value public, to avoid\n  having to access them through the V4L2Controls class\n- Change return of V4L2Device::s/getControls() to signal which control failed\n- Documentation improvements as suggested by Laurent.\n\nI have not taken in changes to the vector of controls in V4L2Controls after\nthe discussion in mailing list.\n\nI would also like to provide a test, but VIMC has no control.\nVIVID has many, but iirc we deprecated VIVID in favour of VIMC everywhere we\ncould.\n\nAn example of the new API is provided in 6/6.\n\nThanks\n  j\n\nJacopo Mondi (6):\n  libcamera: Add V4L2Controls\n  libcamera: v4l2_device: List valid controls at open\n  libcamera: v4l2_device: Implement get and set controls\n  libcamera: camera_sensor: Add V4L2 control operations\n  libcamera: ipu3: Set pipe_mode based on stream configuration\n  [HACK] ipu3: Set and get a few sensor controls\n\n src/libcamera/camera_sensor.cpp       |  65 ++++++\n src/libcamera/include/camera_sensor.h |   6 +\n src/libcamera/include/v4l2_controls.h |  86 ++++++++\n src/libcamera/include/v4l2_device.h   |  12 ++\n src/libcamera/meson.build             |   1 +\n src/libcamera/pipeline/ipu3/ipu3.cpp  |  59 ++++++\n src/libcamera/v4l2_controls.cpp       | 282 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n src/libcamera/v4l2_device.cpp         | 265 ++++++++++++++++++++++++\n 8 files changed, 776 insertions(+)\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/include/v4l2_controls.h\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/v4l2_controls.cpp\n\n--\n2.21.0"
