My mistake, I will correct it to:

enum {
    OV9282_TEST_PATTERN_DISABLED,
    OV9282_TEST_PATTERN_BAR,
    OV9282_TEST_PATTERN_SOLID_WHITE,
};

Agreed, will switch to cci_write for both registers.

That makes sense. I will implement white. If there are no other comments,

I will define these three as you suggested:


enum {
    OV9282_TEST_PATTERN_DISABLED,
    OV9282_TEST_PATTERN_BAR,
    OV9282_TEST_PATTERN_SOLID_WHITE,
};

static const char * const ov9282_test_pattern_menu[] = {
    "Disabled",
    "Bar",
    "Solid White",

};
