[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 2/8] Allow only one camera being started

[Harvey Yang]

From: Harvey Yang <chenghaoyang at chromium.org>

As we hardly have use cases/applications that need both cameras at the
same time, this patch adds a rule that only one camera can be started
one time. This also allows the following patches that use both imgus to
process frames from one single camera.
