[PATCH] media: mali-c55: fix dropped last AEC histogram zone weight

From: David Carlier

Date: Tue Jun 02 2026 - 15:01:08 EST


The 15x15 AEC histogram metering grid has 225 per-zone weights, packed
by userspace as a u8 array. The driver writes the first 56 registers
(zones 0 through 223) in a loop, then handles the final register on its
own to keep static analysers from flagging the array access.

That separate path computes the address and value for the 225th weight
(the bottom-right zone) but never issues the register write, so the zone
keeps its stale or default weight. Any non-default weight userspace sets
for the last zone is silently ignored, skewing auto-exposure metering.
Both the AEXP_HIST_WEIGHTS and AEXP_IHIST_WEIGHTS blocks are affected as
they share this handler.

Issue the missing write, masking the value as the loop does.
