Hi Jean-Michel,

Thank you for the patch.

Line wrap:

	       IPU3_UAPI_GAMMA_CORR_LUT_ENTRIES *
	       sizeof(params.acc_param.gamma.gc_lut.lut[0]));

I won't repeat this comment everywhere, you can apply it through the
series.

Line wrap.

I'll stop repeating this comment too :-)

What do you mean by "limit" ? I understand it as

	/*
	 * Hardcode gamma to 1.1 as a default for now.
	 *
	 * \todo Expose gamma control setting through the libcamera control API
	 */

I think "The output value is expressed on 13 bits." would be clearer.

> +		context.frameContext.contrast.gammaCorrection.lut[i] = gamma * 8191;
> +	}

How about using std::size to avoid overflowing the array by mistake ?

	struct ipu3_uapi_gamma_corr_lut &lut =
		context.frameContext.contrast.gammaCorrection;

	for (uint32_t i = 0; i < std::size(lut.lut); i++) {
		double j = static_cast<double>(i) / (std::size(lut.lut) - 1);
		double gamma = std::pow(j, 1.0 / gamma_);

		/* The output value is expressed on 13 bits. */
		lut.lut[i] = gamma * 8191;
	}

Up to you.

I wonder of the algorithm shouldn't be called ToneMapping as it does
more than just contrast.

You can drop the destructor, it's not needed.

I think this belongs to patch 7/9, along with the changes to
ipu3_agc.cpp and ipu3_agc.h.

Or

	algorithms_.push_back(std::make_unique<algorithms::Contrast>());

? It won't make much practical difference, but may better show we're
dealing with unique pointers.
