[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v3 11/14] ipa: ipu3: agc: Introduce previous exposure value

[Jean-Michel Hautbois]

We need to calculate the gain on the previous exposure value calculated.
Now that we initialise the exposure and gain values in configure(), we
know the initial exposure value, and we can set it before any loop is
running.
