    "content": "Alright, I'm pretty sure this v5 is enough... just one final check\nbefore merging. I tacked on the v4l2-compat test at the end too, since\nit'll be merged at the same time (and I added one line to tell the\nv4l2-compat test to test raspi as well).\n\nThis patch series:\n- improves format-related calculations (stride, frameSize)\n- cleans up the v4l2 compatibility layer related to formats\n- fixes v4l2 compatibility interception for the raspberry pi pipeline\n  handler\n- fixes unsupported formats in uvcvideo and raspberrypi pipeline\n  handlers (the others were fine already)\n- moves filling in stride and frameSize from camera configuration time\n  to configuration validation time for all pipeline handlers\n\nPatches 1~6 add functions and fields that are necessary in the rest of\nthe patches. Patch 8 forces pipeline handlers to use acquireMediaDevice\nso that media devices can automatically be mapped to devnums for the\nv4l2 compatibility layer to intercept, and patch 9 makes the\nraspberrypi pipeline handler conform to this. Patches 10~11\nfilter out unsupported formats at configuration generation time, to\nprevent them from being selected, in the pipeline handlers that hadn't\nalready done so. Patches 12~13, 15~18 move filling in the stide and\nframeSize parameters from camera configuration time to configuration\nvalidation time. Patches 21~22 move formats out of V4L2CameraProxy,\nand clean up some of its code. Finally, patch 23 adds the test for the\nv4l2 compatibility layer.\n\nChanges in v5:\n- change default \"align\" parameter in PixelFormatInfo::stride() to 1\n- add optional \"align\" parameter to PixelFormatInfo::frameSize()\n- reorder patches to avoid bisection regression:\n  - extend PixelFormatInfo\n  - add stride and frameSize to StreamConfiguration\n  - update pipeline handlers\n  - use in V4L2 compat layer\n- return error from try_fmt and s_fmt if format negotiation on the\n  V4L2Camera/Camera side fail\n- add the v4l2-compat test to the end of this patch series, in a v5 that\n  adds raspi support\n\nChanges in v4:\n- upgraded documentation of format info definitions\n- added overloaded PixelFormatInfo::stride() that takes alignment\n- added optional parameter to PixelFormatInfo::frameSize that takes\n  array of strides\n- raspberrypi: fill in default format and frame size\n- simple: fix stride and frameSize for converter (compared to v3)\n- use tryFormat to get stride and frameSize for all pipelines except for\n  ipu3\n\nPaul Elder (23):\n  libcamera: formats: Add NV24 and NV42, and reorder NV formats\n  libcamera: formats: Add fields to info to ease calculating stride\n  libcamera: StreamConfiguration: Add frameSize field\n  libcamera: V4L2VideoDevice: Add tryFormat\n  libcamera: formats: PixelFormatInfo: Add v4l2 lookup function\n  libcamera: PixelFormatInfo: Add functions stride and frameSize\n  libcamera: pipeline: raspberrypi: Simplify format fetching\n  libcamera: pipeline: raspberrypi: Acquire media devices with\n    acquireMediaDevice\n  libcamera: pipeline_handler: Fatal if registering camera without media\n    devices\n  libcamera: pipeline: raspberrypi: Filter out unsupported formats\n  libcamera: pipeline: uvcvideo: Filter out unsupported formats\n  libcamera: ipu3: Fill stride and frameSize at config validation\n  libcamera: raspberrypi: Fill stride and frameSize at config validation\n  libcamera: raspberrypi: Set default configuration size at validation\n  libcamera: rkisp1: Fill stride and frameSize at config validation\n  libcamera: simple: Fill stride and frameSize at config validation\n  libcamera: uvcvideo: Fill stride and frameSize at config validation\n  libcamera: vimc: Fill stride and frameSize at config validation\n  libcamera: StreamConfiguration: Update stride documentation\n  v4l2: v4l2_camera: Fix stream selection for buffer operations\n  v4l2: v4l2_camera_proxy: Get stride and frameSize from stream config\n  v4l2: v4l2_camera_proxy: Use stream config in tryFormat\n  tests: v4l2_compat: Add test for v4l2_compat\n\n include/libcamera/internal/formats.h          |  18 ++\n include/libcamera/internal/v4l2_videodevice.h |   7 +-\n include/libcamera/stream.h                    |   1 +\n src/libcamera/formats.cpp                     | 289 +++++++++++++++++-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/ipu3/ipu3.cpp          |  14 +-\n .../pipeline/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp      |  73 +++--\n src/libcamera/pipeline/rkisp1/rkisp1.cpp      |  20 +-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/simple/converter.cpp   |  19 ++\n src/libcamera/pipeline/simple/converter.h     |   4 +\n src/libcamera/pipeline/simple/simple.cpp      |  26 +-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/uvcvideo/uvcvideo.cpp  |  36 ++-\n src/libcamera/pipeline/vimc/vimc.cpp          |  23 +-\n src/libcamera/pipeline_handler.cpp            |   4 +\n src/libcamera/stream.cpp                      |  22 +-\n src/libcamera/v4l2_videodevice.cpp            |  50 ++-\n src/v4l2/v4l2_camera.cpp                      |  26 +-\n src/v4l2/v4l2_camera.h                        |   3 +\n src/v4l2/v4l2_camera_proxy.cpp                | 225 ++++----------\n src/v4l2/v4l2_camera_proxy.h                  |  10 +-\n test/meson.build                              |   1 +\n test/v4l2_compat/meson.build                  |  10 +\n test/v4l2_compat/v4l2_compat_test.py          | 152 +++++++++\n 22 files changed, 748 insertions(+), 285 deletions(-)\n create mode 100644 test/v4l2_compat/meson.build\n create mode 100755 test/v4l2_compat/v4l2_compat_test.py"
