    "content": "Use the standard libcamera mechanism to report the \"current\" controls\nrather than delaying updates by counting from the last update.\n\nMY SPECULATION -- valid or not?:\nA problem is that with software ISP we cannot be sure about the sensor\ndelay.  The original implementation simply skips exposure updates for 2\nframes, which should be enough in most cases.  After this change, we\nassume the delay being exactly 2 frames, which may or may not be\ncorrect and may work with outdated values if the delay is shorter.\n\nThis patch also prepares moving exposure+gain to an algorithm module\nwhere the original delay mechanism would be a (possibly unnecessary)\ncomplication.\n\nResolves software ISP TODO #11 + #12.\n\nSigned-off-by: Milan Zamazal <mzamazal@redhat.com>\n---\n src/ipa/simple/soft_simple.cpp           | 16 +------------\n src/libcamera/pipeline/simple/simple.cpp | 17 ++++++++++++--\n src/libcamera/software_isp/TODO          | 29 ------------------------\n 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-)",
