2021-03-12libcamera: delayed_controls: Remove unneeded write when starting upNaushir Patuck
On DelayedControls::reset(), the values retrieved from the sensor device were added to the queues with the updated flag set to true. This would cause the helper to write out the value to the device again on the first DelayedControls::applyControls() call. This is unnecessary, as the controls written are identical to what is stored in the device driver. Fix this by explicitly setting the update flag to false in DelayedControls::reset() when adding the controls to the queue. Additionally, use the Info() constructor when adding items to the queue for consistency.

2021-03-12libcamera: delayed_controls: Add notion of priority writeNaushir Patuck
If an exposure time change adjusts the vblanking limits, and we set both VBLANK and EXPOSURE controls through the VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS ioctl, the latter may fail if the value is outside of the limits calculated by the old VBLANK value. This is a limitation in V4L2 and cannot be fixed by setting VBLANK before EXPOSURE in a single VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS ioctl. The workaround here is to have the DelayedControls object mark the VBLANK control as "priority write", which then write VBLANK separately from (and ahead of) any other controls. This way, the sensor driver will update the EXPOSURE control with new limits before the new values is presented, and will thus be seen as valid. To support this, a new struct DelayedControls::ControlParams is used in the constructor to provide the control delay value as well as the priority write flag.

2021-01-29libcamera: delayed_controls: Add helper for controls that apply with a delayNiklas Söderlund
Some sensor controls take effect with a delay as the sensor needs time to adjust, for example exposure. Add an optional helper DelayedControls to help pipelines deal with such controls. The idea is to provide a queue of controls towards the V4L2 device and apply individual controls with the specified delay with the aim to get predictable and retrievable control values for any given frame. To do this the queue of controls needs to be at least as deep as the control with the largest delay. The DelayedControls needs to be informed of every start of exposure. This can be emulated but the helper is designed to be used with this event being provide by the kernel through V4L2 events. This helper is based on StaggeredCtrl from the Raspberry Pi pipeline handler but expands on its API. This helpers aims to replace the Raspberry Pi implementations and mimics it behavior perfectly.
