[libcamera-devel,v5,0/6] Add support for V4L2 controls

1483 mbox series

Hello,
   quite a few changes compared to v4, mostly on the V4L2Control and
V4L2Controls side to work around the badly performing get() and set()
methods implemented in v4.

- Remove V4L2Controls::get() and set() as they iterated on the controls
  vector unecessarly
- By removing 'set()' now control cannot be updated and reused
- Make the operations to set and get a V4L2Control value public, to avoid
  having to access them through the V4L2Controls class
- Change return of V4L2Device::s/getControls() to signal which control failed
- Documentation improvements as suggested by Laurent.

I have not taken in changes to the vector of controls in V4L2Controls after
the discussion in mailing list.

I would also like to provide a test, but VIMC has no control.
VIVID has many, but iirc we deprecated VIVID in favour of VIMC everywhere we
could.

An example of the new API is provided in 6/6.

Thanks
