[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v4 32/32] libcamera: camera: Remove the prepared state

Niklas Söderlund niklas.soderlund at ragnatech.se
Sun Jan 12 02:02:12 CET 2020


With the FrameBuffer rework completed there is no reason to keep the
camera prepared state around as buffer allocations are now decoupled
from the camera state. Remove the camera state simplifying the API.
