    "content": "Hello,\n\nThis patch series is the second version of the standalone \"[PATCH]\nlibcamera: framebuffer: Replace vector with span in constructor\" patch.\nIt addresses an oversight in v1, where I forgot to convert the\nFrameBuffer::planes() function to return a span. The first 7 patches are\na consequence of that change.\n\nWith FrameBuffer::planes() returning a span, multiple callers have the\nbe modified through libcamera. While fixing the compilation issues, I\nnoticed a set of small issues that patches 1/8 to 7/8 improve. Splitting\nthem in separate patches also reduces the code changes in 8/8 and makes\nit easier to review.\n\nPatches 1/8 to 5/8 and 7/8 are just small drive-by improvements. Please\nsee individual patches for details. A bit worthier of notice is patch\n6/8 that changes the way the IPA data structures are constructed,\nleading to possible optimizations.\n\nCompared to v1, the FrameBuffer::planes() class now returns a span.\nRequired changes to callers are outlined in the patch. This changes the\nlibcamera ABI and API, requiring recompilation and possibly code\nchanges.\n\nLaurent Pinchart (8):\n  libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Avoid repeated calls to\n    FrameBuffer::planes()\n  pipeline: ipu3: Drop unneeded forward declarations\n  pipeline: rkisp1: Replace error handling gotos with utils::exit_scope\n  pipeline: rpi: Use structured bindings in range-based for loop\n  pipelines: Use lambda functions to factor out buffer mapping code\n  utils: codegen: ipc: Optimize constructors of IPA interface structures\n  apps: cam: drm: Drop unneeded local variable\n  libcamera: framebuffer: Replace vector with span in constructor\n\n include/libcamera/framebuffer.h               |  4 +-\n include/libcamera/internal/framebuffer.h      |  3 +-\n .../mm/cros_frame_buffer_allocator.cpp        |  2 +-\n .../mm/generic_frame_buffer_allocator.cpp     |  2 +-\n src/apps/cam/drm.cpp                          |  4 +-\n src/libcamera/framebuffer.cpp                 | 10 ++---\n src/libcamera/pipeline/ipu3/frames.h          |  4 --\n src/libcamera/pipeline/ipu3/ipu3.cpp          | 19 +++++---\n src/libcamera/pipeline/mali-c55/mali-c55.cpp  | 27 ++++++-----\n src/libcamera/pipeline/rkisp1/rkisp1.cpp      | 45 ++++++++++---------\n .../pipeline/rpi/common/pipeline_base.cpp     | 10 +++--\n src/libcamera/pipeline/vimc/vimc.cpp          |  5 ++-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/virtual/virtual.cpp    |  3 +-\n src/libcamera/v4l2_videodevice.cpp            | 13 +++---\n .../definition_functions.tmpl                 |  4 +-\n 15 files changed, 84 insertions(+), 71 deletions(-)\n\n\nbase-commit: af43c2f945c42cc7d111de63abed9ca3df830ca4\n--\nRegards,\n\nLaurent Pinchart"
