/**
 * \file v4l2_controls.h
 * \brief Support for V4L2 Controls using the V4L2 Extended Controls APIs
 *
 * The V4L2 Control API allows application to inspect and modify sets of
 * configurable parameters on a video device or subdevice. The nature of the
 * parameters an application can modify using the control framework depends on
 * what the driver implements support for, and on the characteristics of the
 * underlying hardware platform. Generally controls are used to modify user
 * visible settings, such as the image brightness and exposure time, or
 * non-standard parameters which cannot be controlled through the V4L2 format
 * negotiation API.
 *
 * Controls are identified by a numerical ID, defined by the V4L2 kernel headers
 * and have an associated type. Each control has a value, which is the data that
 * can be modified with V4L2Device::setControls() or retrieved with
 * V4L2Device::getControls().
 *
 * The control's type along with the control's flags define the type of the
 * control's value content. Controls can transport a single data value stored in
 * variable inside the control, or they might as well deal with more complex
 * data types, such as arrays of matrices, stored in a contiguous memory
 * locations associated with the control and called 'the payload'. Such controls
 * are called 'compound controls' and are currently not supported by the
 * libcamera V4L2 control framework.
 *
 * libcamera implements support for controls using the V4L2 Extended Control
 * API, which allows future handling of controls with payloads of arbitrary
 * sizes.
 *
 * The libcamera V4L2 Controls framework operates on lists of controls, wrapped
 * by the ControlList class, to match the V4L2 extended controls API. The
 * interface to set and get control is implemented by the V4L2Device class, and
 * this file only provides the data type definitions.
 *
 * \todo Add support for compound controls
