I'm worried about any potential race being introduced here if requests
are queued late (after the frame is already set to be processed).

I know that scenario is not unique to this patch - but I can 'see' it
being something that would be impacted here because of the reference
above potentially being uninitialised?

I wonder if we need to catch that during the top level and if we are
about to call prepare on a frameContext for a sequence that has not had
queueRequest called on it - we should probably copy the previous
frameContext or such.

But that's probably something to handle during the PFC reworks not this
patch specifically as the issue will apply to all algorithms, not just
this one.

All the changes to rkisp1 here should really be in a standalone commit.

I'm surprised we don't already have this handled, but it's core to
rkisp1 IPA - not the AGC algorithm.

And ideally that patch should be in a series that also drops
rkisp1Controls and moves those to their respective algo implementations!

Err ... wait - I think it /is/ already being handled by the core...

I think that's already the case. algoControls_ can't merge duplicates,
it can either overwrite or drop the incoming ones (based on a
parameter).

In this case, we /shouldn't/ have duplicates - so I'd keep this as is
with the default MergePolicy which I believe will shout out a warning if
someone tries to merge a control that's already added.

In other words, I think this todo comment can be dropped now.


So in fact - I think this should all be dropped here as there is already
a way to register additional controls by adding them to the IPA Context
ctlrMap.

See Stefan's recent "ipa: rkisp1: Add GammaOutCorrection algorithm" as
an example.

Or did I miss something different about what this is doing here?
