[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v4 2/4] libcamera: camera_utils: Add a file for utils common to sensor and lens

Hi Han-Lin,

I fear I'm about to get shot down by others on this as people's opinions
might differ ...

Splitting the generateID and model out of this to be able to re-use them
sounds like a great idea ... (and the bit I'm scared of)...

I would have thought that generateID() could be done directly by the
V4L2VideoDevice

And the Model ... could be provided by the V4L2SubDevice....

These are the components that know about those details, and any
heuristics there are based on assumptions about those specific device
forms...


Some typo's highlighted during the move below, which aren't a fault of
the move but could be fixed up while moving...
