[libcamera-devel] Mandatory camera properties

Hello,

While reading the hot-plug series and with my recent work on 
user-friendly names discussions on camera properties have been touch 
upon. Before working on adding a check to disallow registering a camera 
that does not have all these properties I think it's a good idea we 
agree on which ones are mandatory.

After reading the current discussions and whats in master it seems we 
wish to make Location but not Rotation mandatory, is this correct? If so 
shall we remove the Rotation fallback (set to 0) in CameraSensor?

Looking a head I thin we also would like to make the (hopefully) 
upcoming Model property mandatory?

I see no urgency to lock this all down but as we move to do more work 
involving properties I think its time we start to think about if we want 
to make some of them mandatory.
