    "content": "From: Daniel Scally <dan.scally@ideasonboard.com>\n\nSome kernel drivers give their entities names that will differ from\nimplementation to implementation; for example the drivers for the\nCamera Receiver Unit and CSI-2 receiver in the RZ/V2H(P) SoC give their\nentities names that include their memory address, in the format\n\"csi-16000400.csi2\". Passing that entity name to\nMediaDevice::getEntityByName() is too inflexible given it would only\nthen work if that specific CSI-2 receiver were the one being used.\n\nAdd an overload for MediaDevice::getEntityByName() that accepts a\nstd::basic_regex instead of a string, and use std::regex_search()\ninstead of a direct string comparison to find a matching entity. This\nallows us to search for entites using regex patterns like\n\"csi-[0-9a-f]{8}.csi2\".\n\nSigned-off-by: Daniel Scally <dan.scally@ideasonboard.com>\nReviewed-by: Stefan Klug <stefan.klug@ideasonboard.com>\nReviewed-by: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo.mondi@ideasonboard.com>\nSigned-off-by: Jacopo Mondi <jacopo.mondi@ideasonboard.com>\n\n---\nChanges in v3:\n- Exit early when searching regexp\n\n\tfor (MediaEntity *e : entities_) {\n\t      \tif (!std::regex_search(e->name(), name))\n\t\t\tcontinue;\n\n\t\tif (entity) {\n\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\n  compared to\n\n\tfor (MediaEntity *e : entities_) {\n\t      \tif (std::regex_search(e->name(), name)) {\n\t\t\tif (entity) {\n\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t}\n\nChanges in v2:\n\n- Add an overload for ::getEntityByName() instead of replacing the\n  existing functionality. The new overload takes a regex, but will\n  return a nullptr in the event that the given regex matches multiple\n  entities.\n---\n include/libcamera/internal/media_device.h |  2 ++\n src/libcamera/media_device.cpp            | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++\n 2 files changed, 28 insertions(+)",
