2021-11-23ipa: ipu3: agc: Rename currentYGainLaurent Pinchart
The "current" prefix in the currentYGain variable name is confusing: - In Agc::estimateLuminance(), the variable contains the gain to be applied to the image, which is neither a "current" gain nor a "Y" gain. Rename it to "gain". - In Agc::computeExposure(), the variable contains the gain computed by the relative luminance method, so rename it to "yGain". While at it, rename variables to match the libcamera coding style.

2021-11-23ipa: ipu3: agc: Standardize vocabulary on "relative luminance"Laurent Pinchart
The AGC computes the average relative luminance of the frame and calls the value "normalized luma", "brightness" or "initialY". The latter is the most accurate term, as the relative luminance is abbreviated Y, but the "initial" prefix isn't accurate. Standardize the vocabulary on "relative luminance" in code and comments, abbreviating it to Y when needed. While at it, rename variables to match the libcamera coding style.

2021-11-15ipa: ipu3: agc: Update previous exposure valueJean-Michel Hautbois
Previously, the exposure value was calculated based on the estimated shutter time and gain applied. Now that we have the real values for the current frame, use those before estimating the next one and rename the variable accordingly. As the exposure value is updated in the beginning of the computation, there is no need to initialize effectiveExposureValue anymore in the configure call, and it can be a local variable and not a class variable anymore.

2021-11-15ipa: ipu3: agc: Improve gain calculationJean-Michel Hautbois
When an image is partially saturated, its brightness is not increasing linearly when the shutter time or gain increases. It is a big issue with a backlight as the algorithm is fading to darkness right now. Introduce a function to estimate the brightness of the frame, based on the current exposure/gain and loop on it several times to estimate it again and approach the non linear function.

2021-11-15ipa: ipu3: agc: Compute the gain for each frameJean-Michel Hautbois
Now that we have the real exposure applied at each frame, remove the early return based on a frame counter and compute the gain for each frame. Introduce a number of startup frames during which the filter speed is 1.0, meaning we apply instantly the exposure value calculated and not a slower filtered one. This is used to have a faster convergence, and those frames may be dropped in a future development to hide the convergance process from the viewer.

2021-11-15ipa: ipu3: Use sensor controls to update frameContextJean-Michel Hautbois
The pipeline handler populates the new sensorControls ControlList, to have the effective exposure and gain values for the current frame. This is done when a statistics buffer is received. Make those values the frameContext::sensor values for the frame when the EventStatReady event is received. AGC also needs to use frameContext.sensor as its input values and frameContext.agc as its output values. Modify computeExposure by passing it the frameContext instead of individual exposure and gain values.
