[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 1/2] ipa: Create a camera sensor helper class

Setting analogue gain for a specific sensor is not a straghtforward
operation, as one needs to know how the gain is calculated for it.
This commit introduces a new camera sensor helper in libipa which aims
to solve this specific issue.
It is based on the MIPI alliance Specification for Camera Command Set
and implements, for now, only the analogue "Global gain" mode.
Is makes it possible to only have 4 parameters to store per sensor, and
the gain calculation is then done identically for all of them. This
commit gives the gains for imx219 (based on RPi cam_helper), ov5670 and
ov5693.
Adding a new sensor is pretty straightfoward as one only needs to
implement the sub-class for it and register that class to the
CameraSensorHelperFactory.
