From c7ae5a50c10de1e790855d66842192c766da4dd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacopo Mondi Date: Fri, 27 Aug 2021 10:28:11 +0200 Subject: android: capabilities: Cap frame rate to 30 FPS Limit the reported minumum frame duration to 30 FPS. The reason to do is to bring the libcamra HAL in par with the Intel HAL implementation on IPU3 platform, where 30FPS is the frame rate used to perform quality tuning in the closed-source IPA module and has been validated as the most efficient rate for the power/performace budget. This change bring into the HAL a platform specific constraints, which might be opportune for most platforms but should rather be configurable by system integrators. Record that with a \todo entry. Also record that, even if we report a lower frame rate, we currently do not limit what the camera actually produce.
