Hi Naush,

Thank you for the patch.

Unless I'm mistaken, the params field isn't used anymore. Unless it's
used in a subsequent patch in the series, you can drop it.

Not something that needs to be done as a prerequisite, but would it make
sense to change the return type of RPiController::CamHelper::Create() to
std::unique_ptr<RPiController::CamHelper> ?

As this code deals with RPiCameraData only, could you move it to
RPiCameraData::loadIPA() ? That way you won't have to prefix everything
with data->, and you'll avoid passing sensorConfig to loadIPA().

With these small changes,
