[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 1/6] libcamera: controls: Specify manual gain units and change exposure units

[Naushir Patuck]

Use micro-seconds for ManualExposure. This is changed from milli-
seconds. The latter would not allow very low exposure times.

ManualGain switch to use a float to allow fractional gain adjustments.
