    "content": "On some platforms, working directly on the input buffer is very slow due\nto disabled caching.  This is why we copy the input buffer into standard\n(cached) memory.  This is an unnecessary overhead on platforms with\ncached buffers.\n\nLet's make input buffer copying configurable.  The default is still\ncopying, as it's overhead is much lower than contingent operations on\nnon-cached memory.  Ideally, we should improve this in future to set the\ndefault to non-copying if we can be sure under observable circumstances\nthat we are working with cached buffers.\n\nCompletes software ISP TODO #6.\n\nSigned-off-by: Milan Zamazal <mzamazal@redhat.com>\n---\n Documentation/runtime_configuration.rst    |  2 ++\n src/libcamera/software_isp/TODO            | 11 -----------\n src/libcamera/software_isp/debayer_cpu.cpp |  5 ++++-\n 3 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-)",
