[libcamera-devel] [PATCH] libcamera: pipeline: simple: Add support for controls

Benjamin Schaaf ben.schaaf at gmail.com
Wed Dec 8 13:35:23 CET 2021


Controls and control info are translated between libcamera and V4L2
inside the simple pipeline. Request controls are applied when a request
is next to be completed.

This also adds some additional draft controls needed for the PinePhone.
