The uvcvideo pipeline handler always keeps the uvcvideo /dev/video# node
for a pipeline open after enumerating the camera.
This is a problem for uvcvideo, as keeping the /dev/video# node open
stops the underlying USB device and the USB bus controller from being
able to enter runtime-suspend causing significant unnecessary
power-usage.
Implement acquireDevice() + releaseDevice(), openening /dev/video# on
acquire and closing it on release to fix this.
And make validate do a local video_->open() + close() around validate()
when not open yet, to keep validate() working on unacquired cameras.

The uvcvideo driver needs to open / close its /dev/video# node from
pipe_->acquireDevices() / pipe_->releaseDevices().
V4L2VideoDevice::open() creates an EventNotifier and this notifier needs
to be created from the CameraManager thread.
Use invokeMethod() for pipe_->acquire() and pipe_->release() so that the
EventNotifiers are created from the CameraManager thread context.
Running pipe_->acquire() and pipe_->release() from the CameraManager
thread context serializes all calls to them. Drop PipelineHandler::lock_
this now is no longer necessary and update the "\context" part of the
documentation for acquire[Device]() and release[Device]() to match.
Note the delayed opening of /dev/video# is a special case because the
kernel uvcvideo driver powers on the USB device as soon as /dev/video#
is opened. This behavior should *not* be copied by other pipeline
handlers.

libcamera always keeps all /dev/video# and /dev/v4l2_subdev# nodes for a
pipeline open after enumerating the camera.
This is a problem for the uvcvideo pipeline handler. Keeping /dev/video#
open stops the UVC USB device from being able to enter runtime-suspend

Add a stub acquireDevice() function to the PipelineHandler class which
pipeline handlers can override.
The uvcvideo pipeline handler will use this to delay opening /dev/video#
until the device is acquired. This is a special case because the kernel
uvcvideo driver powers on the USB device as soon as /dev/video# is
opened. This behavior should *not* be copied by other pipeline handlers.

Extend the RkISP1 BLC algorithm to use the ISP 'companding' block for
versions of the ISP (such as the one on the i.MX8MP) that lack the
dedicated BLS block but implement BLS as part of the companding block.
As access to the companding block requires the extensible parameters
format, disable BLC when using the legacy parameters format on i.MX8MP
to avoid crashes at runtime with older kernels.

It is better / more logical to call releaseDevice() before unlocking the
devices. At the moment the only pipeline handler implementing
releaseDevice() is the rpi pipeline handler which releases buffers from
its releaseDevice() implementation.
Releasing buffers before unlocking the media devices is ok to do
and arguably it is better to release the buffers before unlocking.

The CSS for the documentation's theme currently hides the toctree from

To facilitate easier distinguishing between "normal" and

included on each documentation page it is convenient to add the new
directive here - do so. As the website uses different CSS to

The control descriptions from YAML files are extracted to generate
Doxygen documentation blocks for the controls, which are then compiled
to HTML. The extraction script uses the first line of the description
as the Doxygen \brief, and preserves blank lines to keep paragraphs.
The control descriptions in the YAML files have however not all been
written with this in mind. Many description elements are not formatted
as block string scalars, in the first place, so blank lines are lost
when parsing YAML. Furthermore, they often start with a long initial
paragraph, making the \brief description very long.
Improve the documentation formatting by marking all multiline
descriptions as block string scalars, and try to provide a short
one-line first paragraph to be used as a \brief. While at it, reflow the
documentation to the 80 columns limit.
The draft controls are left as-is, as they should evolve to non-draft
controls eventually (and ideally sooner than later).

The libcamera.h header is a top-level library header that contains every
other libcamera header. It is currently generated by listing the files
in include/libcamera/ and dropping the .in suffix from template files.
This assumes a 1:1 mapping between generated header file names and the
name of their templates.
Drop that assumption and base the libcamera.h generation on the
libcamera public headers listed in meson.build. This makes the
libcamera.h header generation more future-proof.

Python scripts run as part of the build process need to take a few
actions specific to the environment in which they operate. One of those
is disabling the Python bytecode cache, to avoid writing .pyc files to
the source tree. This is done manually in the IPC generate.py and
parser.py scripts.
The current implementation is not ideal because it hardcodes in the
scripts information related to the environment in which they operate. As
those scripts are part of libcamera this is more of a theoretical issue
than a practical one. A second issue is that future Python scripts will
need to duplicate similar mechanisms, resulting in a higher maintenance
burden.
Address the issue with a different approach, by creating a meson
environment for the Python scripts, and passing it to the
custom_target() functions. The environment only disables the bytecode
cache for now.
The diffstat shows an increase in code size. This is expected to be
offset by usage of the environment for more Python scripts, as well as
support of more variables in the environment.
