+ * The CamHelper class provides a number of facilities that anyone trying
+ * to drive a camera will need to know, but which are not provided by the
+ * standard driver framework. Specifically, it provides:
+ *
+ * A "CameraMode" structure to describe extra information about the chosen
+ * mode of the driver. For example, how it is cropped from the full sensor
+ * area, how it is scaled, whether pixels are averaged compared to the full
+ * resolution.
+ *
+ * The ability to convert between number of lines of exposure and actual
+ * exposure time, and to convert between the sensor's gain codes and actual
+ * gains.
+ *
+ * A function to return the number of frames of delay between updating exposure,
+ * analogue gain and vblanking, and for the changes to take effect. For many
+ * sensors these take the values 2, 1 and 2 respectively, but sensors that are
+ * different will need to over-ride the default function provided.
+ *
+ * A function to query if the sensor outputs embedded data that can be parsed.
+ *
+ * A function to return the sensitivity of a given camera mode.
+ *
+ * A parser to parse the embedded data buffers provided by some sensors (for
+ * example, the imx219 does; the ov5647 doesn't). This allows us to know for
+ * sure the exposure and gain of the frame we're looking at. CamHelper
+ * provides functions for converting analogue gains to and from the sensor's
+ * native gain codes.
+ *
+ * Finally, a set of functions that determine how to handle the vagaries of
+ * different camera modules on start-up or when switching modes. Some
+ * modules may produce one or more frames that are not yet correctly exposed,
+ * or where the metadata may be suspect. We have the following functions:
+ * HideFramesStartup(): Tell the pipeline handler not to return this many
+ * frames at start-up. This can also be used to hide initial frames
+ * while the AGC and other algorithms are sorting themselves out.
+ * HideFramesModeSwitch(): Tell the pipeline handler not to return this
+ * many frames after a mode switch (other than start-up). Some sensors
+ * may produce innvalid frames after a mode switch; others may not.
+ * MistrustFramesStartup(): At start-up a sensor may return frames for
+ * which we should not run any control algorithms (for example, metadata
+ * may be invalid).
+ * MistrustFramesModeSwitch(): The number of frames, after a mode switch
+ * (other than start-up), for which control algorithms should not run
+ * (for example, metadata may be unreliable).
