[PATCH 6/8] ipa: rkisp1: Add WDR algorithm

Add a WDR algorithm to do global tone mapping. Global tone mapping is
used to increase the perceived dynamic range of a image. The typical
effect is that in areas that are normally overexposed additional
structure gets visible.
The overall idea is that the algorithm applies an exposure value
correction to underexpose the image to the point where only a small
number of saturated pixels is left. This artificial underexposure is
then mitigated by applying a tone mapping curve.
This algorithm implements 4 tone mapping strategies:
- Linear
- Power
- Exponential
- Histogram equalization

+ * \class WideDynamicRange
+ * \brief RkISP1 Wide Dynamic Range algorithm
+ *
+ * This algorithm implements automatic global tone mapping for the RkISP1.
+ * Global tone mapping is done by the GWDR hardware block and applies
+ * a global tone mapping curve to the image to increase the perceived dynamic
+ * range. Imagine a indoor scene with bright outside visible through the windows.
+ * With normal exposure settings, the windwos will be completely saturated and
+ * no structure (sky/clouds) will be visible because the AEGC has to increase
+ * overall exposure to reach a certain level of mean brightness. In WDR mode,
+ * the algorithm will artifically reduce the exposure time so that the texture
+ * and colours become visible in the former saturated areas. Then the global
+ * tone mapping curve is applied to mitigate the loss of brightness.
+ *
+ * Calculating that tone mapping curve is the most difficult part. This
+ * algorithm implements four tone mapping strategies:
+ * - Linear: The tone mapping curve is a combination of two linear functions
+ * with one kneepoint
+ * - Power: The tone mapping curve follows a power function
+ * - Exponential: The tone mapping curve follows an exponential function
+ * - HistogramEqualization: The tone mapping curve tries to equalize the
+ * histogram
+ *
+ * The overall strategy is the same in all cases: A negative exposure value is
+ * applied to the AEGC regulation until the number of nearly saturated pixels go
+ * below a given threshold (controllable via WdrMaxBrightPixels, default is 2%)
+ * or the MinExposureValue specified in the tuning file is reached.
+ *
+ * The global tone mapping curve is then calculated so that it accounts for the
+ * reduction of brightness due to the negative exposure value. As the result of
+ * tone mapping is very difficult to quantize and as it is by definition a
+ * lossy process there is not a single "correct" solution.
+ *
+ * The approach taken here is based on the sinmple linear model. The kneepoint
+ * of the curve is calculated so that a 50% grey pixel in the normal exposed
+ * image ends up at 50% grey in the WDR image again. So the first section of the
+ * curve has a gain of pow(2, - WDR-EV) up to 50% level. The second part of the
+ * curve compresses the remaining range. Using the WdrStrength control, the gain
+ * of that initial section can be further adjusted.
+ *
+ * In the Power and Exponential modes, the curves are calculated so that they
+ * pass through that kneepoint.
+ *
+ * The histogram equalization mode tries to equalize the histogram of the
+ * image and acts independently of the calculated exposure value.
+ *

+ description: |
+ Set the WDR mode.
+
+ The WDR mode is used to select the algorithm used for global tone
+ mapping. It will automatically reduce the exposure time of the sensor
+ so that there are only a small number of saturated pixels in the image.
+ The algorithm then compensate for the loss of brightness by applying a
+ global tone mapping curve to the image.
+ enum:
+ - name: WdrOff
+ value: 0
+ description: Wdr is disabled.
+ - name: WdrLinear
+ value: 1
+ description:
+ Apply a linear global tone mapping curve.
+
+ The curve with two linear sections is applied. This produces good
+ results at the expense of a slightly artificial look.
+ - name: WdrPower
+ value: 2
+ description: |
+ Apply a power global tone mapping curve.
+
+ This curve has high gain values on the dark areas of an image and
+ high compression values on the bright area. It therefore tends to
+ produce noticeable noise artifacts.
+ - name: WdrExponential
+ value: 3
+ description: |
+ Apply a exponential global tone mapping curve.
+
+ This curve has lower gain values in dark areas compared to the power
+ curve but produces a more natural look compared to the linear curve.
+ It is therefore the best choice for most scenes.
+ - name: WdrHistogramEqualization
+ value: 4
+ description: |
+ Apply histogram equalization.
+
+ This curve preserves most of the information of the image at the
+ expense of a very artificial look. It is therefore best suited for
+ technical analysis.
+ - WdrStrength:
+ type: float
+ direction: in
+ description: |
+ Specify the strength of the wdr algorithm. The exact meaning of this
+ value is specific to the algorithm in use. Usually a value of 0 means no
+ global tone mapping is applied. A values of 1 is the default value and
+ the correct value for most scenes. A value above 1 increases the global
+ tone mapping effect and can lead to unrealistic image effects,
