// The CamHelper class provides a number of facilities that anyone trying
// to drive a camera will need to know, but which are not provided by the
// standard driver framework. Specifically, it provides:
//
// A "CameraMode" structure to describe extra information about the chosen
// mode of the driver. For example, how it is cropped from the full sensor
// area, how it is scaled, whether pixels are averaged compared to the full
// resolution.
//
// The ability to convert between number of lines of exposure and actual
// exposure time, and to convert between the sensor's gain codes and actual
// gains.
//
// A function to return the number of frames of delay between updating exposure,
// analogue gain and vblanking, and for the changes to take effect. For many
// sensors these take the values 2, 1 and 2 respectively, but sensors that are
// different will need to over-ride the default function provided.
//
// A function to query if the sensor outputs embedded data that can be parsed.
//
// A function to return the sensitivity of a given camera mode.
//
// A parser to parse the embedded data buffers provided by some sensors (for
// example, the imx219 does; the ov5647 doesn't). This allows us to know for
// sure the exposure and gain of the frame we're looking at. CamHelper
// provides functions for converting analogue gains to and from the sensor's
// native gain codes.
//
// Finally, a set of functions that determine how to handle the vagaries of
// different camera modules on start-up or when switching modes. Some
// modules may produce one or more frames that are not yet correctly exposed,
// or where the metadata may be suspect. We have the following functions:
// HideFramesStartup(): Tell the pipeline handler not to return this many
// frames at start-up. This can also be used to hide initial frames
// while the AGC and other algorithms are sorting themselves out.
// HideFramesModeSwitch(): Tell the pipeline handler not to return this
// many frames after a mode switch (other than start-up). Some sensors
// may produce innvalid frames after a mode switch; others may not.
// MistrustFramesStartup(): At start-up a sensor may return frames for
// which we should not run any control algorithms (for example, metadata
// may be invalid).
// MistrustFramesModeSwitch(): The number of frames, after a mode switch
// (other than start-up), for which control algorithms should not run
// (for example, metadata may be unreliable).
