From dcb3e7e2dfae021c7e21a0ed32697389bb8aca40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Niklas=20S=C3=B6derlund?= Date: Sat, 27 Jun 2020 00:28:04 +0200 Subject: libcamera: ipu3: Import instead of allocate statistic buffers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Statistics buffers are not yet used by the IPU3 pipeline, they are never queued to the statistics video device or in any other way consumed. The kernel driver will however not allow video streaming to start if buffers are not either allocated or imported on the statistics video device. Instead of allocating the buffers wasting memory that is never used, import buffers.
