The pipeline handler populates the new sensorControls ControlList, to
have the effective exposure and gain values for the current frame. This
is done when a statistics buffer is received.
Make those values the frameContext::sensor values for the frame when the
EventStatReady event is received.
AGC also needs to use frameContext.sensor as its input values and
frameContext.agc as its output values. Modify computeExposure by passing
it the frameContext instead of individual exposure and gain values.

In case the maximum exposure received from the sensor is very high, we
can have a very high shutter speed with a small analogue gain, and it
may result in very slow framerate. We are not really supporting it for
the moment, so clamp the shutter speed to an arbitrary value of 60ms.

The tone mapping algorithm calculates the gamma curve for every frame,
regardless of whether the gamma value has changed or not. This issue is
exasperated as we currently hardcode the gamma to a single value.
Optimise the implementation to only recalculate the look up table when
the gamma setting is changed, and store the gamma setting of the LUT
curve as part of the IPA context.

When zones are used for the grey world algorithm, they are only
considered if their average green value is at least 32/255 to exclude
zones that are too dark and don't provide relevant colour information
(on the opposite side of the spectrum, saturated regions are excluded by
the ImgU statistics engine).
The algorithm requires a minimal number of zones that meet this criteria
in order to run. Now that we correct the black level, the 32/255 minimal
value is a bit high and prevents the algorithm for running in low-light
conditions. Lower the value to 16/255 to fix it.

The AWB grey world algorithm tries to find a grey value and it can't do
it on over-exposed images. To exclude those, the saturation ratio is
used for each cell, and the cell is included only if this ratio is 0.
Now that we have changed the threshold, more cells may be considered as
partially saturated and excluded, preventing the algorithm from running
efficiently.
Change that behaviour, and consider 90% as a good enough ratio.

The intel-ipu3.h public interface from the kernel does not define how to

leading to our custom definition of struct Ipu3AwbCell.

The pixels output by the camera normally include a black level, because
sensors do not always report a signal level of '0' for black. Pixels at
or below this level should be considered black and to achieve that, we
need to substract an offset to all the pixels. This can be taken into
account by reading the lowest value of a special region on sensors which
is not exposed to light. This provides a substracting factor to be
able to adjust the expected black levels in the resulting images.
For a camera outputting 10-bit pixel values (in the range 0 to 1023) a
typical black level might be 64. It is a fixed value, obtained by
capturing a raw frame with minimum exposure and gain fixed to 1.0 while
covering the sensor (the darker the better). We consider it good enough
as a very first approximation, until we measure it during a tuning
process and include it in a configuration file

The initial algorithm is chosen to configure the gamma contrast curve

This demonstrates the way to use process() call when the EventStatReady

when prepare() is called, the parameters are filled with the updated
