/**

 * \brief Camera device handling
 *
 * At the core of libcamera is the camera device, combining one image source
 * with processing hardware able to provide one or multiple image streams. The
 * Camera class represents a camera device.
 *
 * A camera device contains a single image source, and separate camera device
 * instances relate to different image sources. For instance, a phone containing
 * front and back image sensors will be modelled with two camera devices, one
 * for each sensor. When multiple streams can be produced from the same image
 * source, all those streams are guaranteed to be part of the same camera
 * device.
 *
 * While not sharing image sources, separate camera devices can share other
 * system resources, such as an ISP. For this reason camera device instances may
 * not be fully independent, in which case usage restrictions may apply. For
 * instance, a phone with a front and a back camera device may not allow usage
 * of the two devices simultaneously.

 * \class Camera
 * \brief Camera device
 *
 * The Camera class models a camera capable of producing one or more image
 * streams from a single image source. It provides the main interface to
 * configuring and controlling the device, and capturing image streams. It is
 * the central object exposed by libcamera.
 *
 * To support the central nature of Camera objects, libcamera manages the
 * lifetime of camera instances with std::shared_ptr<>. Instances shall be
 * created with the create() function which returns a shared pointer. The
 * Camera constructors and destructor are private, to prevent instances from
 * being constructed and destroyed manually.
