[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 0/7] Enumerate CameraLens by following sensor's ancillary links

[Daniel Scally]

Hello All

This series is an attempt at making the incoming VCM support a little more
agnostic, by following the new style of media links described in my series to
linux-media [0] to find VCMs connected to Sensors in libcamera. Now that
Han-Lin's series is merged this is based on top of master, plus Kate's v3 [1]

The general principle of the new links is an entity to entity link which will
be connected by the kernel between a sensor's entity and an entity for a VCM
device, where those entities have a fwnode match based on the "lens-focus"
property against the sensor. These links are then discovered by libcamera and
followed to create an instance of the CameraLens class, replacing the matching
on driver/device names in Han-Lin's original series.

With the CameraLens available to carry out the controlling of the VCM, I have
pushed the controls to the pipeline handler.

Series changes in v2: 

	- New patches #4, #5 and #6 adding some extra framework to the IPAIPU3
	and pipeline so that I can pass the lensControls as a ControlList in #7
	(which was previously #5).
	- Dropped the patch amending Kate's work, as Kate squashed it (thanks!)

Thanks
Dan
