[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v3 4/9] libcamera: camera_sensor: Discover VCMs through ancillary links

Daniel Scally djrscally at gmail.com
Tue Dec 7 23:45:07 CET 2021


Add a function to check for and initialise any VCMs linked to the
CameraSensor's entity by ancillary links. This should initialise
the lens_ member with the linked entity. Call the new function
during CameraSensor::init().

Changes in v3:

	- Fixed some style errors
	- Replaced the flash case by printing the entity function in the 
	default case.
