[libcamera-devel] [PATCH 0/1] StartupFrame metadata

Hi

I'm posting this for further discussion - I've talked vaguely about it
with a few folks already.

For an increasingly long time I've been unhappy with how we (RPi) drop
frames when the camera system starts, and I'd rather they are all
handed out to the application. However, it needs to be easy for an
application to know to ignore them, and that's what this StartupFrame
metadata does.

Obviously there are still things to think about, such as the name,
whether there are different "levels" of useable-ness, whether it
should even be a control (metadata) at all, and so on...

Thanks!
David
