[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 02/10] ipa: ipu3: Introduce a Context structure

[Jean-Michel Hautbois]

An increasing amount of data and information needs to be shared between
the components that build up to implement image processing algorithms.

Create a context structure which will allow us to work towards calling
algorithms in a modular way, and sharing information between the modules.

The IPA context is a global context set at configure time (IPAConfiguration)
and a per-frame context (IPAFrameContext) used while streaming.
