[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v5 0/9] Enumerate CameraLens by following sensor's ancillary links

[Daniel Scally]

Hello All

This series is an attempt at making the incoming VCM support a little more
agnostic, by following the new style of media links to find VCMs connected to
Sensors in libcamera. This is based on top of master, plus Kate's v8 [1]

The general principle of the new links is an entity to entity link which will
be connected by the kernel between a sensor's entity and an entity for a VCM
device, where those entities have a fwnode match based on the "lens-focus"
property against the sensor. These links are then discovered by libcamera and
followed to create an instance of the CameraLens class.

With the CameraLens available to carry out the controlling of the VCM, I have
pushed the controls to the pipeline handler.

Thanks
Dan
