Subject: [RFC v2 3/5] media: v4l2-ctrls: Add v4l2 helper functions for single-capture controls
Add v4l2 helper functions to support backward compatibility
with older user-space applications that are still using the
single-capture exposure and gain controls.
After the addition of multi-capture exposure and gain controls,
the following scenarios are possible:
1. Old applications & old sensor drivers
Both the application and the driver are using single-capture controls,
no problem here.
2. Old applications & new sensor drivers
The application is using single-capture controls and we want the drivers
to implement only the new multi-capture controls. In this case the
driver should use the v4l2_ctrl_new_single_cap_ctrls helper to create
the old single-capture controls, for backward compatibility.
3. New application & old sensor drivers
The new application can query if the driver supports multi-capture
controls, if it doesn't, the application may fallback to single-capture
controls.
4. New application & new sensor drivers
Both the application and the driver are using multi-capture controls,
again, no problem here.
