Subject: [PATCH v4 02/11] media: v4l2-ctrl: Document V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_LOCATION
Date: Mon,  7 Oct 2019 18:29:04 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191007162913.250743-3-jacopo@jmondi.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191007162913.250743-1-jacopo@jmondi.org>

Add documentation for the V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_LOCATION camera
control. The newly added read-only control reports the camera device
mounting position.

+``V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_LOCATION (integer)``
+    This read-only control describes the camera sensor location by reporting
+    its mounting position on the device where the camera is installed. The
+    control value is constant and not modifiable by software. This control is
+    particularly meaningful for devices which have a well defined orientation,
+    such as phones, laptops and portable devices since the camera location is
+    expressed as a position relative to the device's intended usage orientation.
+    For example, a camera sensor installed on the user-facing side of a phone,
+    a tablet or a laptop device is said to be installed in the
+    ``V4L2_LOCATION_FRONT`` location while camera sensors installed on the side
+    opposite the front one are said to be installed in the
+    ``V4L2_LOCATION_BACK`` location. Camera sensors not directly attached to
+    the device or attached in a way that allows them to move freely, such as
+    webcams and digital cameras, are said to have the ``V4L2_LOCATION_EXTERNAL``
+    location.

    This control may be changed to a menu control in the future, if more
    options are required.
