Hi Barnabas,

Thanks for the fix ups - I see the compilers are all now happy with this
series, so the gcc-9 issue is gone.

I assume std::max becomes constexpr here (checked, and it does).
clangformat wants to indent these, but it does make sense as a list.

I wonder if putting them it a local const array and using some constexpr
iteration ... but then we may as well put a constexpr helper in to
include/libcamera/base/utils.h ....

Maybe if we find ourselves doing this again ?

This hits some long lines. Might be tempting to format this as:


		if (availableExposureModes_[V4L2_EXPOSURE_AUTO] ||
		    availableExposureModes_[V4L2_EXPOSURE_APERTURE_PRIORITY])
			values[count++] = controls::ExposureTimeModeAuto;

But I like this patch for more succinct code.
