    "content": "Hello,\n   this two patches add a class hierarcy to represent the media device objects\nregistered in a media graph.\n\nThe first patch adds the hierarcy used to represent media entities, pads and\nlinks, while the second one adds a class that handles the media graph making\nuse of the here introduced MediaObjects.\n\nThe MediaDevice class allows enumerations of all media objects in the media\ngraph and supports handling of pad-2-pad links.\n\nThis classes will be used by pipeline managers to setup the media graph\nfor the selected use case, and they've been tested with a sketched pipeline\nmanager targetting Intel's IPU3 platforms.\n\nAs of now, the media device depends on receiving a static map that associates\neach entity with its video subdevice path. This might be modified once a media\nenumerator is available, and will provide said map by inspecting what's\navailable in the system.\n\nFor this reason, I have a unit test I'm not sharing yet as it needs to\nhardcode the entity-path map for the platform I'm currently developing for.\n\nAs a minor side note: comments. This code is over-commented, I know. I don't\nthink that's a bad thing in general, but as this aims to be the reference\nimplementation, I felt like it was worth commenting everything I could.\nWe decided to comment as much as we can in the .cpp file, to keep headers\nsimple and clean. I still tend to agree with this, but I'm open to discuss it\nif necessary.\n\nThanks\n   j\n\nJacopo Mondi (2):\n  libcamera: Add MediaObject class hierarchy\n  libcamera: Add MediaDevice class\n\n src/libcamera/include/media_device.h |  72 +++++\n src/libcamera/include/media_object.h | 119 +++++++\n src/libcamera/media_device.cpp       | 603 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n src/libcamera/media_object.cpp       | 302 ++++++++++++++++++\n src/libcamera/meson.build            |   2 +\n 5 files changed, 1098 insertions(+)\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/include/media_device.h\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/include/media_object.h\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/media_device.cpp\n create mode 100644 src/libcamera/media_object.cpp\n\n--\n2.7.4"
