[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 07/12] libcamera: device_enumerator: add factory for DeviceEnumerators

[Niklas Söderlund]

Provide a factory for DeviceEnumerator objects. Depending on which
libraries are available there will be different ways to enumerate
information in the system. This factory hides this from the rest of the
library.

Currently udev enumeration is the only supported implementation, a sysfs
implementation is another method that surely will be added in the
future.
