Hi Jean-Michel,
Thank you for the patch.

What do you mean by "overlap the image width" here ?

Nice diagram :-) I wonder how it will render with doxygen, but that's
for later.
Could you add one more space on the left side to have a space between
"*" and "16" ?

This should probably be moved somewhere else, it explains how the
Accumulator structure is used in the IPU3 IPA implementation, not what
the Accumulator is. We can deal with that later (but not too late if
possible, maybe at the time the structure moves out of awb.h as it
shouldn't refer to kAwbStatsSizeX in that case).

This will need to be reworked too when we'll move the structure to a
shared header, to avoid referring to ipu3_uapi_awb_config_s and just
talk about thresholds in general (the reference to
ipu3_uapi_awb_config_s should then be kept in awb.cpp though, as it's
relevant for the IPU3).
