Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] media: uvcvideo: RFC: Convert allow_privacy_override into Kconfig
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 19:37:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119-uvcdynctrl-v2-6-0359ffb98c9e@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119-uvcdynctrl-v2-0-0359ffb98c9e@chromium.org>

This patch is just shared for discussion purposes! Do not land.

In a perfect world, after a deprecation process, we will be able to
remove allow_privacy_override and block all privacy related controls.

If there is any usecase out in the field that resists, we shall move it
into a Kconfig.

This patch shows how the transition to Kconfig can look.
