[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] libcamera: Improve handling of fixed-size array controls

[Laurent Pinchart]

Hello,

This patch series builds up on top of Christian's "libcamera: controls:
Generate and use fixed-sized Span types" patch to improve support of
fixed-size array controls. It started as an itch I wanted to scratch,
being bothered by the explicit Span construction in the Raspberry Pi IPA
module.

The series starts with patch 1/4 that refactors the gen-controls.py
script to make it (hopefully) more readable, without any functional
change. Patch 2/4 then improves the YAML notation for variable-size
array controls, and patch 3/4 improves the Control::set() function to
construct the Span using the size provided by the Control class
definition. The result is patch 4/4, which reverts usage of the explicit
Span constructor in the Rapsberry Pi IPA module.

Compared to v1, the intrusive 3/4 patch got replaced with a much simpler
version.
