[libcamera-devel] [RFC PATCH 1/5] android: post_processor: Inherit from libcamera::Object

[Umang Jain]

Currently, the post processing of a stream happens synchronously in
CameraStream::process(). There is a plan to offload this processing to
a separate worker thread. In order to achieve that, we need to move
the post processor to a separate thread and invoke methods on it from
the CameraStream's thread. Object::moveToThread() and
Object::invokeMethod() shall be used respectively, to achieve that
goal. Hence, inherit the PostProcessor interface from libcamera::object.
