[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 2/2] libcamera: control: explicitly define default control values

Hi Kieran,

Regarding all your comments, I simply replaced the "default" 0 for "def"
from the old constructor with explicitly setting it 0 (or its binary
counterpart 'false') to match the types. If 0 is the wrong "def" value
for those controls, then they were already wrong before :-) They were
just implicitly wrong. Now you have to explicitly specify a "def" value,
and I kept 0 for backward compatibility.

Feel free to change the default values. You should also be able to merge
this patch (2/2) without the first (1/2).

Best,
Christian
