    "content": "Hello,\n\nThis patch series builds on Martijn's work to implement a pipeline\nhandler for simpler pipelines. Additional information about the pipeline\nhandler itself can be found in patch 8/8.\n\nPatch 1/8 adds a V4L2 API extension required for pipeline\nauto-configuration, which has been posted as an RFC but not merged in\nthe mainline kernel yet. Patches 2/8 to 7/8 than add a new utility\nfunction and small extensions to the V4L2-related classes. Patch 8/8\nadds the new simple pipeline handler.\n\nThe code has been tested on an i.MX7 platform with a greyscale sensor.\nI've kept sun6i-csi from Martijn's work in the list of supported\ndrivers, but supporting that platform will require extending the\ncorresponding driver to support the VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT extension. Once\ndone, if all goes well, the platform should work out of the box.\n\nBenjamin, Mickael, this is meant to be compatible with the stm32 and\nqcom-camss that you have previously submitted pipeline handlers for. You\nwill need to add the respective drivers to the drivers array in\nSimplePipelineHandler::match(), and, as for sun6i-csi, you will need to\nimplement support for the VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT extension, which should be\nfairly easy.\n\nLaurent Pinchart (7):\n  [DNI] include: linux: Extend VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT to support MC-centric\n    devices\n  libcamera: utils: Add string join function\n  libcamera: v4l2_subdevice: Extend [gs]etFormat() to specify format\n    type\n  libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Support filtering formats by media bus\n    code\n  libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Expose the device capabilities\n  libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Downgrade 4CC conversion errors to\n    warnings\n  libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Map V4L2_PIX_FMT_GREY to DRM FourCC\n\nMartijn Braam (1):\n  libcamera: pipeline: Add a simple pipeline handler\n\n include/linux/videodev2.h                 |   4 +-\n src/libcamera/include/utils.h             |  44 ++\n src/libcamera/include/v4l2_subdevice.h    |  11 +-\n src/libcamera/include/v4l2_videodevice.h  |   6 +-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/meson.build        |   1 +\n src/libcamera/pipeline/simple/meson.build |   3 +\n src/libcamera/pipeline/simple/simple.cpp  | 693 ++++++++++++++++++++++\n src/libcamera/utils.cpp                   |  16 +\n src/libcamera/v4l2_subdevice.cpp          |  23 +-\n src/libcamera/v4l2_videodevice.cpp        |  36 +-\n test/utils.cpp                            |   7 +-\n 11 files changed, 828 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/pipeline/simple/meson.build\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/pipeline/simple/simple.cpp"
