[PATCH v2 0/3] gstreamer: Generate controls from control_ids_*.yaml files

[Jaslo Ziska]

Hi everyone,

this is the second version of the patch set to implement gstreamer controls
from the yaml files.
This now depends on "[PATCH 00/10] libcamera: Improve code generation for
controls" for the code generation.

The following things changed:

The (old) third commit fixing a typo has been removed as it is already merged.

The first commit is new: it removes the auto-focus-mode property from the
device provider where it has been added on accident.

The commit message has been updated in the second commit.

The third commit, which adds the code that generates the gstreamer controls,
now makes use of jinja2 and the new controls.py file. As a consequence the
whole code generation has been redone.

There are also some new features:

It is now possible to read the metadata returned by requests from the gstreamer
properties. This is done using a new function readMetadata() which reads the
ControlList in requestCompleted().

Before a control is set it is now checked whether this control is actually
supported by the camera. This is done by checking the cameras ControlInfoMap.

The Rectangle type is now supported.

Some checks were added to make sure the arrays passed to the element have the
correct length.

Best regards,

Jaslo
