In cases where a driver only supports a single flip mode, flipping support gets disabled completely. This is unexpected and annoying when validating sensor drivers. Fix that by handling vertical and horizontal flips separately. Signed-off-by: Stefan Klug --- Changes in v2: - Replaced duplicate query flip code with lambda - Reworked apply flip code to call setControls only once - Replaced a & by && - Applied the change to CameraSensorRaw as well - Small comment/logging changes --- Hi all, I had this patch somewhere in my tree for a long time. Now I stumbled over this issue again and had to manually rebase the changes. So maybe it is time to upstream :-) Version 2 adresses the comments from review.
