Hi Umang,

Thank you for the patch.

I'd drop this sentence, as nothing here is UVC-specific, it's an issue
to be solved in the UVC pipeline handler.

You don't need this, the CameraHalManager is being deleted, so the
camerasMap_ is deleted too. The reason we need it for cameras_ is to
release the Camera shared pointers before calling CameraManager::stop().

Can you initialize those two fields in the constructor (using the member
initializer list) ?

CAMERA_DEVICE_STATUS_PRESENT is unrelated to whether the camera is new
or has been seen before. I'd drop that part of the sentence.

s/wraps/wrap/

And this isn't about creating a CameraDevice instance for each camera
anymore. I'd write this

	/* Create a CameraDevice instance to wrap the libcamera Camera. */

This should only be called for external cameras. cameraRemoved()
shouldn't be called for internal cameras in the first place, so maybe
there's no need for a conditional here.

Could this be as simple as creating a

	std::list<std::shared_ptr<CameraDevice>> openCameras_;

to hold references to open cameras ? It could be done on top.

How about iterating over cameras_ instead ? You wouldn't need to look up
the id in camerasMap_.

	for (std::shared_ptr<CameraDevice> &camera : cameras_) {
		Camera *cam = camera->camera();
		unsigned int id = camera->id();

(you could also drop some of the local variables if desired, as they are
both used once only).

The Location property isn't a bitfield, it's an enum.

> +		    properties::CameraLocationExternal) {

There are two locations where you check the Location property. Would
adding the following function make sense ?

static int32_t CameraHalManager::cameraLocation(Camera *cam)
{
	const ControlList &properties = cam->properties();
	if (!properties.contains(properties::Location))
		return -1;

	return properties.get(properties::Location);
}

The caller would become

		if (cameraLocation(cam) == properties::CameraLocationExternal)

which is a bit nicer to read I think.

How about turning these to

	CameraDevice *cameraFromId(unsigned int id);
	CameraDevice *cameraFromCamera(libcamera::Camera *cam);

It would simplify the interface. I would actually call the former
cameraFromHALId() to differentiate the two types of IDs. And maybe

	CameraDevice *cameraDeviceFromHALId(unsigned int id);
	CameraDevice *cameraDeviecFromCamera(libcamera::Camera *cam);

if it's not too long ?

Maybe cameraIdsMap_ to make the contents more explicit ?

Maybe numInternalCameras_ or internalCamerasCount_ ?

And nextExternalCameraId_ ?
