    "content": "Hello,\n\nThis series is a second version of Jacopo's work on pixel format support\nin libcamera.\n\nThe goal is to consistently use a dedicated PixelFormat type to describe\nimage pixel formats in the libcamera public API and, by extension,\nthrough the code. This increases type safety and will ease extending\nformat descriptions.\n\nThe series starts by importing a new version of the kernel headers, and\nadding a (for now) local DRM_FORMAT_MJPEG FourCC. Patch 4/7 and 5/7 then\nintroduce the new PixelFormat type and use it through the code. Patches\n6/7 and 7/7 finally switch the PixelFormat numerical value to use DRM\nFourCC instead of V4L2 FourCC.\n\nThank you Jacopo for your initial work.\n\nJacopo Mondi (7):\n  include: linux: Update headers to Linux v5.2\n  include: linux: Import DRM/KMS headers from Linux v5.2\n  include: drm_fourcc: Add Motion-JPEG FourCC\n  libcamera: Define a PixelFormat type for application-facing formats\n  libcamera: stream: Use the newly defined PixelFormat\n  libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Add PixelFormat conversion\n  libcamera: Switch PixelFormat to DRM FourCC values\n\n include/libcamera/meson.build            |    1 +\n include/libcamera/pixelformats.h         |   18 +\n include/libcamera/stream.h               |   13 +-\n include/linux/drm.h                      | 1042 ++++++++++++++++++++++\n include/linux/drm_fourcc.h               |  765 ++++++++++++++++\n include/linux/drm_mode.h                 | 1032 +++++++++++++++++++++\n include/linux/media-bus-format.h         |    4 +-\n include/linux/media.h                    |   27 +-\n include/linux/v4l2-controls.h            |   29 +\n include/linux/videodev2.h                |   31 +-\n src/libcamera/include/v4l2_videodevice.h |    5 +\n src/libcamera/meson.build                |    1 +\n src/libcamera/pipeline/ipu3/ipu3.cpp     |    7 +-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/rkisp1/rkisp1.cpp |   25 +-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/uvcvideo.cpp      |    4 +-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/vimc.cpp          |   15 +-\n src/libcamera/pixelformats.cpp           |   28 +\n src/libcamera/stream.cpp                 |   17 +-\n src/libcamera/v4l2_videodevice.cpp       |  141 +++\n src/qcam/format_converter.cpp            |   30 +-\n test/camera/buffer_import.cpp            |   17 +-\n 21 files changed, 3177 insertions(+), 75 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 include/libcamera/pixelformats.h\n create mode 100644 include/linux/drm.h\n create mode 100644 include/linux/drm_fourcc.h\n create mode 100644 include/linux/drm_mode.h\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/pixelformats.cpp"
