[libcamera-devel] [PATCH] ipa: ipu3: agc: Clamp shutter speed

[Jean-Michel Hautbois]

In case the maximum exposure received from the sensor is very high, we
can have a very high shutter speed with a small analogue gain, and it
may result in very slow framerate. We are not really supporting it for
the moment, so clamp the shutter speed to an arbitrary value of 60ms.
