[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v3 12/16] libcamera: raspberrypi: Do not over-write metadata

[Jacopo Mondi]

When a Request is completed upon receiving the IPA produced metadata,
the metadata associated with the Request are over-written, deleting
the information set at output buffer completion, such as the
SensorTimestamp.

This commit applies to the RaspberryPi pipeline handler the same change
applied to IPU3 in commit 13a7ed7b1f1f ("libcamera: ipu3: Do not
over-write metadata") but compared to that commit it uses the newly
introduced ControlList::merge() function.
