[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 02/18] libcamera: thread: Wake up target thread when moving objects

[Laurent Pinchart]

When moving an object to a different thread, messages posted for the
object are moved to the message queue of the new thread. Wake up the new
thread to ensure it processes the moved messages.
