[libcamera-devel] [RFC 0/2] Add support for pipeline specific data to Cameras

[Jacopo Mondi]

RFC as I'm not sure about the idea of delegating ownership of platform data
to Cameras, as that requires the pipeline handler to dynamically allocate the
resources (if they go away at pipeline handler destruction time, is pointless
to store them in Camera).

The other way around is the idea of borrowing pipeline handler data to Cameras,
but as Cameras are shared objects, they might stay around longer that pipeline
handlers, and thus I felt it is safer to tie the CameraData lifetime to the one
of the Camera instance they're associated to.

Thanks
