[PATCH v2 2/7] gstreamer: Factor out video pool creation
Laurent Pinchart

Wed Jun 4 15:07:36 CEST 2025
The gst_libcamera_src_negotiate() function uses 5 identation levels,
causing long lines. Move video pool creation to a separate function to
increase readability.

Changes since v1:
- Document the gst_libcamera_create_video_pool() function
- Keep the gst_libcamera_extrapolate_info() call out of the new function
- Reorder function arguments
