Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] media: uvcvideo: Introduce allow_privacy_override module parameter
Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2026 13:34:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260316-uvcdynctrl-v3-3-19cd4657e1f3@chromium.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260316-uvcdynctrl-v3-0-19cd4657e1f3@chromium.org>

Some camera modules have XU controls that can configure the behaviour of
the privacy LED.

Block mapping of those controls, unless the module is configured with
a new parameter: allow_privacy_override.

This is just an interim solution. Based on the users feedback, we will
either put the privacy controls behind a CONFIG option, or completely
block them.
