2019-02-01libcamera: camera: extend camera object to support streamsNiklas Söderlund
A camera consists of one or more video streams originating from the same video source. The different streams could for example have access to different hardware blocks in the video pipeline and therefore be able to process the video source in different ways. All static information describing each stream need to be recorded at camera creation. After a camera is created an application can retrieve the static information about its streams at any time. Update all pipeline handlers to register one stream per camera, this will be extended in the future for some of the pipelines.

2019-02-01libcamera: camera: Add acquire() and release()Laurent Pinchart
Exclusive access must be obtained before performing operations that change the device state. Define an internal flag to track ownership and provide a means of protecting functions that change device configuration.

2019-01-31libcamera: camera: Fix operator= definitionLaurent Pinchart
The class assignment operator is usually defined as returning a reference to the object, to allow a = b = c statements. While the return type makes no difference when deleting the operator in a class definition, it's still a good practice to use the correct return type. Fix it in the Camera and CameraManager classes.

2019-01-24libcamera: camera: Add disconnection notificationNiklas Söderlund
As camera object have the potential to outlive the hardware they represent, there is a need to inform the camera that the underlying device has been disconnected, and in turn to notify applications. Implement a disconnection notification mechanism that can be used by pipeline handlers to notify the camera of disconnection. The camera then block all new API calls and emit the disconnected signal.

2019-01-24libcamera: camera: Associate cameras with their pipeline handlerNiklas Söderlund
The PipelineHandler which creates a Camera is responsible for serving any operation requested by the user. In order forward the public API calls, the camera needs to store a reference to its pipeline handler. Signed-off-by: Niklas Söderlund <niklas.soderlund@ragnatech.se> Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> --- Changes since v1: - Create pipeline handlers is shared pointers, make them inherit from std::enable_shared_from_this<> and stored them in shared pointers.
2019-01-21libcamera: camera: Handle camera objects through shared pointersLaurent Pinchart
The Camera class is explicitly reference-counted to manage the lifetime of camera objects. Replace this open-coded implementation with usage of the std::shared_ptr<> class. This API change prevents pipeline handlers from subclassing the Camera class. This isn't deemed to be an issue. Mark the class final to make this explicit.

2018-12-31libcamera: Add Camera classNiklas Söderlund
Provide a Camera class which represents our main interface to handling camera devices. This is a rework of Kieran's initial proposal and Laurent's documentation of the file changed to fit the device enumerators needs.
