That's not accurate, and it dives off to an external reference without
explaining why. /This/ patch is not proposed for linux-media.


Try to introduce your patches, and think about your commit message in
distinct sections such as:

 - Describe the issue
 - Describe any context
 - Describe solution


 - the issue
"""
The intel-ipu3.h public interface from the kernel does not define how to
parse the statistics for a cell. This had to be identified by a process
of reverse engineering, and later identifying the structures from
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/arc-camera/+/refs/heads/master/hal/intel/include/ia_imaging/awb_public.h
leading to our custom definition of struct Ipu3AwbCell.

"""


 - context
"""
To improve the kernel interface, a proposal has been made to the
linux-kernel [0] to incorporate the memory layout for each cell into the
intel-ipu3 header directly.

[0]
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20210831185140.77400-1-jeanmichel.hautbois@ideasonboard.com/
"""


 - solution / What this patch does
"""
Update our local copy of the intel-ipu3.h to match the proposal and
change the AGC and AWB algorithms to reference that structure directly,
allowing us to remove the deprecated custom Ipu3AwbCell definition.
"""

The only issue is that the proposal to linux-media has not yet been
reviewed or approved/integrated, so until then this patch would cause us
to diverge from the kernel version of the header and would require
special attention.

That may not be an issue in this case, as we can track the progress
upstream - but normally we would expect to keep our linux headers
matching the kernel unmodified.
