[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 2/3] gstreamer: Fix concurrent access issues to CameraManager

[Nicolas Dufresne]

From: Nicolas Dufresne <nicolas.dufresne at collabora.com>

It's not allowed to have multiple instances of CameraManager. This
requirement is not easy for GStreamer were the device monitor and
the camerasrc, or two camerasrc instances don't usually have any
interaction between each other. Fix this by implementing a minimalist
singleton around CameraManager constructor and start()/stop()
operations.
