Metadata and Hue\ndevelopments\" by introducing a new base type for libipa to be able to\nmaintain values which are quantized for hardware.\n\nThese data values often need to be converted, perhaps to a fixed-point\nformat for configuration of hardware, but also then back to a floating\npoint for returning as metadata.\n\nIn particular this series builds to solve the review comment that\nblocked the original series at [1]\n\nThe Quantized type provides a storage mechanism to make both of these\nstorage representations visible to code that wishes to utilise the\nspecific values.\n\nThe series then re-introduces the proposed updates to cproc using the\nnew Q types by supplying Fixed Point types and a scaled fixed point type\nfor the Hue control.\n\nTests and documentation are provided throughout.\n\n[0] https://patchwork.libcamera.org/project/libcamera/list/?series=5245\n[1] https://patchwork.libcamera.org/patch/23645/#34626\n\nRunning the tests directly shows the following output (all passing)\n\ntest/ipa/libipa/quantized\nQuantised tests passed successfully.\ntest/ipa/libipa/fixedpoint\n\nQ1_7(-1 .. 0.992188) Min: Q:0x80 V:-1 -- Max: Q:0x7f V:0.992188 Step:0.0078125\n Checking -1 == Q:0x80 V:-1\n Checking -0.992 == Q:0x81 V:-0.992188\n Checking -0.006 == Q:0xff V:-0.0078125\n Checking 0 == Q:0x00 V:0\n Checking 0.008 == Q:0x01 V:0.0078125\n Checking 0.992 == Q:0x7f V:0.992188\n\nUQ1_7(0 .. 1.99219) Min: Q:0x00 V:0 -- Max: Q:0xff V:1.99219 Step:0.0078125\n Checking 0 == Q:0x00 V:0\n Checking 1 == Q:0x80 V:1\n Checking 1.992 == Q:0xff V:1.99219\n\nQ4_7(-8 .. 7.99219) Min: Q:0x0400 V:-8 -- Max: Q:0x03ff V:7.99219 Step:0.0078125\n Checking -8 == Q:0x0400 V:-8\n Checking -0.008 == Q:0x07ff V:-0.0078125\n Checking 0 == Q:0x0000 V:0\n Checking 0.008 == Q:0x0001 V:0.0078125\n Checking 7.992 == Q:0x03ff V:7.99219\n Checking 0.2 == Q:0x001a V:0.203125\n Checking -0.2 == Q:0x07e6 V:-0.203125\n Checking -0.8 == Q:0x079a V:-0.796875\n Checking -0.4 == Q:0x07cd V:-0.398438\n Checking -1.4 == Q:0x074d V:-1.39844\n\nQ12.4(-2048 .. 2047.94) Min: Q:0x8000 V:-2048 -- Max: Q:0x7fff V:2047.94 Step:0.0625\n\nQ12_4(-2048 .. 2047.94) Min: Q:0x8000 V:-2048 -- Max: Q:0x7fff V:2047.94 Step:0.0625\n Checking 0 == Q:0x0000 V:0\n Checking 7.5 == Q:0x0078 V:7.5\n\nUQ12_4(0 .. 4095.94) Min: Q:0x0000 V:0 -- Max: Q:0xffff V:4095.94 Step:0.0625\n Checking 0 == Q:0x0000 V:0\n Checking 7.5 == Q:0x0078 V:7.5\n\nRange validation:\n Checking -100 == Q:0x80 V:-1\n Checking 100 == Q:0x7f V:0.992188\n Checking -100 == Q:0x00 V:0\n Checking 100 == Q:0xff V:1.99219\n\n\nScaled Fixed-Point Quantizer tests:\n\nHueQ (Scaled Q1_7 * 90) (-90 .. 89.2969) Min: Q:0x80 V:-90 -- Max: Q:0x7f V:89.2969 Step:0.703125\n Checking -90 == Q:0x80 V:-90\n Checking -45 == Q:0xc0 V:-45\n Checking 0 == Q:0x00 V:0\n Checking 45 == Q:0x40 V:45\n Checking 90 == Q:0x7f V:89.2969\n Checking -99 == Q:0x80 V:-90\n Checking 99 == Q:0x7f V:89.2969\n\nCPROC Fixed-Point Quantizer conversion tests:\n Checking Q:0x80 V:-1 == Q:0x80 V:-1\n Checking Q:0x7f V:0.992188 == Q:0x7f V:0.992188\n Checking Q:0x00 V:0 == Q:0x00 V:0\n Checking Q:0xff V:1.99219 == Q:0xff V:1.99219\n\n\n\nv2:\n -
