Sensor frame length is made up of active and inactive (blanking) lines.
The minimum and maximum frame length values may be used by pipeline
handlers to limit frame durations based on the sensor mode capabilities.
Store the minimum and maximum allowable frame length values (in lines)
in the CameraSensorInfo structure. These values are computed in
CameraSensor::sensorInfo() by querying the sensor subdevice
V4L2_CID_VBLANK control limits. This in turn means that V4L2_CID_VBLANK
is now a mandatory subdevice control.

Currently, validation of the kernel support happens each time a

The libcamera internal headers are located in src/libcamera/include/.
The directory is added to the compiler headers search path with a meson
include_directories() directive, and internal headers are included with
(e.g. for the internal semaphore.h header)
#include "semaphore.h"
All was well, until libcxx decided to implement the C++20
synchronization library. The __threading_support header gained a
#include <semaphore.h>
to include the pthread's semaphore support. As include_directories()
adds src/libcamera/include/ to the compiler search path with -I, the
internal semaphore.h is included instead of the pthread version.
Needless to say, the compiler isn't happy.
Three options have been considered to fix this issue:
- Use -iquote instead of -I. The -iquote option instructs gcc to only
consider the header search path for headers included with the ""
version. Meson unfortunately doesn't support this option.
- Rename the internal semaphore.h header. This was deemed to be the
beginning of a long whack-a-mole game, where namespace clashes with
system libraries would appear over time (possibly dependent on
particular system configurations) and would need to be constantly
fixed.
- Move the internal headers to another directory to create a unique
namespace through path components. This causes lots of churn in all
the existing source files through the all project.
The first option would be best, but isn't available to us due to missing
support in meson. Even if -iquote support was added, we would need to
fix the problem before a new version of meson containing the required
support would be released.
The third option is thus the only practical solution available. Bite the
bullet, and do it, moving headers to include/libcamera/internal/.

The CameraSensor class assumes that camera sensors support the exact
same list of sizes of all media bus codes. While allowing a simpler API,
this assumption is incorrect and is blocking usage of some camera
sensors.
Relaxing the constraint is possible without changes to the CameraSensor
API syntax, but requires changing its semantics. The sizes() function
now returns the list of all sizes for all media bus codes, and the
getFormat() function now searches in all supported media bus codes. The
former is likely not the most useful option for pipeline handlers, but
the sizes() function is currently unused. Designing a better API will
require inspecting current and expected future use cases in pipeline
handlers to determine proper heuristics.
While at it, fix a small typo in an unrelated comment.

The V4L2Device class uses V4L2ControlList as a controls container for

To simplify the IPA API and ease the implementation of serialisation and
