Hi Laurent,

Thank you for your feedback.

Sure, will do.

Yes, I do agree that this is somewhat restrictive.  Here's a way to decouple
the parsing and supplying values:

1) MdParser::Parse and MdParserSmia::Parse now return the register to offset
map, instead of keeping this internal:

Status Parse(libcamera::Span<const uint8_t> buffer, RegMap &map);

2) CamHelper::parseEmbeddedData calls MdParser::Parse() as it currently
does,
and this will now call a new virtual method CamHelper::fillMetadata() that
will
fill our metadata buffer with whatever embedded data bits we think useful.
This way, all the sensor specific dealing is hidden behind the sensor
derived
CamHelper class.

I did not get your point about renaming findRegs(), could you elaborate on
that
a bit?

I'll prepare this change and we can discuss further once I have some code
written.

Regards,
Naush
