Subject: [RFC v2 2/5] Documentation: media: Describe exposure and gain controls for multiple captures
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2025 18:58:06 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250818155809.469479-3-mirela.rabulea@nxp.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250818155809.469479-1-mirela.rabulea@nxp.com>

The standard controls for exposure and gains allow a
single value, for a single capture. For sensors with HDR
capabilities or context switching, this is not enough, so
add new controls that allow multiple values, one for each
capture.

Signed-off-by: Mirela Rabulea <mirela.rabulea@nxp.com>

Changes in v2:
	Mention order inside array, from longest to shortest exposure
	Mention not to implement the -single controls if -multi controls are implemented
