Re: [PATCH] v4l2-core/v4l2-ctrls: Filter NOOP CH_RANGE events

[Ricardo Ribalda Delgado]

Hello Hans

On my cameras, the framerate can be controlled in very fine steps (so
you can be in sync with the conveyor belt). The exposure time is
dependent on the framerate. I was calling modify_range every time
there was a change on the framerate on all the different heads.
Leading to invalid/noop events.

I have already fixed it on my sensor code, but there is a lot of copy
paste.... I thought that check belong to the framework. It also will
give some consistency, because If my memory is good, set_ctrl does not
send and event if the value is unchanged.


Thanks :)

And take as much time as you need for   V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_DEF_VAL :-)
