2023-07-04libcamera: camera: Take span of StreamRole instead of vectorBarnabás Pőcze
Change the parameter type of `generateConfiguration()` from `const std::vector&` to `libcamera::Span`. A span is almost always preferable to a const vector ref because it does not force dynamic allocation when none are needed, and it allows any contiguous container to be used. A new overload is added that accepts an initializer list so that cam->generateConfiguration({ ... }) keeps working. There is no API break since a span can be constructed from a vector and the initializer list overload takes care of the initializer lists, but this change causes an ABI break.

2022-11-23libcamera: Move IPA sensor controls validation to CameraSensorJacopo Mondi
The CameraSensor class validates that the sensor driver in use supports the controls required for IPA modules to work correctly. For in-tree IPA modules, whose pipeline handlers already use CameraSensor there's no need to validate such controls again. Remove controls validation from the IPU3 and RkISP1 IPA modules and rely on CameraSensor doing that at initialization time. The list of mandatory controls is expanded to add V4L2_CID_ANALOGUE_GAIN without which IPA modules cannot function. The new requirement only applies to RAW sensors, platforms like UVC and Simple are not impacted by this change. While at it, expand the sensor driver requirements documentation to include V4L2_ANALOGUE_GAIN in the list of mandatory controls a sensor driver has to support.

2022-10-13meson: Shared Object version handlingKieran Bingham
The libcamera project is not yet ready to declare ABI nor API stability, but it will benefit the community to be able to provide more regular release cycles to determine 'versioned' points of history. Ideally, these releases will be made at any ABI breakage, but can be made at arbitary time based points along the way. To support releases which may not be ABI stable, declare the soversion of both the libcamera and libcamera-base library to be dependant upon both the major minor and patch component of the project version. As part of this, introduce a new 'Versions' summary section to highlight the different version components that may become apparent within any given build. Bumping versions may leave dangling libcamera.so.* symlinks in build directories. This will confuse Doxygen which will print during its directory scanning phase a warning that the symlink can't be read. As we don't need Doxygen to follow symlinks, disable it with EXCLUDE_SYMLINKS.

Doxyfile.in was generated using `doxygen -g` with Doxygen v1.8.14. This has produced a file with all options supported by Doxygen at the time, and a handful of them have then been modified to support libcamera's needs, with most options retaining their default. Some of the default options have been deprecated in newer Doxygen releases, which led to warnings when generating the documentation. The usual process to fix this is to update the configuration file with `doxygen -u`. This creates a big diff due to the large number of changes to default options, which isn't quite nice. Instead, let's just drop all the default options and the comments, to produce a small and more readable Doxyfile.in.

2022-08-03libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Reintroduce toV4L2PixelFormat()Jacopo Mondi
This is a partial revert of commit 395d43d6d75b ("libcamera: v4l2_videodevice: Drop toV4L2PixelFormat()") The function was removed because it incorrectly maps non-contiguous V4L2 format variants (ie V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUV420M) to the API version supported by the video device (singleplanar API and multiplanar API). It was decided at the time to remove the function and let its users call directly V4L2PixelFormat::fromPixelFormat() which accepts a 'multiplanar' flags. As we aim to associate multiple V4L2PixelFormat to a single libcamera format, the next patches will verify which of them is actually supported by the video device. For now, return the contiguous version unconditionally. Re-introduce V4L2VideoDevice::toV4L2PixelFormat() and convert all the V4L2PixelFormat::fromPixelFormat() users to use it. The V4L2 compatibility layer is the only outlier as it doesn't have a video device to poke, hence it still uses V4L2PixelFormat::fromPixelFormat(). Next patches will implement the device format matching logic and handle the non-contiguous plane issue in V4L2VideoDevice::toV4L2PixelFormat().

The V4L2VideoDevice::toV4L2PixelFormat() function is incorrectly implemented, as it will pick a multi-planar format if the device supports the multi-planar API, even if only single-planar formats are supported. This currently works because the implementation calls V4L2PixelFormat::fromPixelFormat(), which ignores the multiplanar argument and always returns a single-planar format. Fixing this isn't trivial. As we don't need to support multi-planar V4L2 formats at this point, drop the function instead of pretending everything is fine, and call V4L2PixelFormat::fromPixelFormat() directly from pipeline handlers. As the single-planar case is the most common, set the multiplanar argument to false by default to avoid long lines.
