Agreed, having a way to select a specific IPA module could be a 
convenient addition for the future. As of now, there is presumably a way 
to do so by setting the LIBCAMERA_IPA_MODULE_PATH variable. But it 
requires the IPA modules to be installed in different paths, which is 
not always desired.

Point noted - I will add that fix if there is a new version of the patch 
set then.
