Changes in v6:

	- Flagged which struct goes with which enum value from
	  enum mali_c55_param_block_type
	- Used only types with well defined sizes in the structs
	- Expanded the documentation for skipping in the AEXP histogram config
	- Aligned the header struct to 64 bits
	- Added a new union type to hold pointers to the parameter structs

Changes in v5:

	- New patch

The sentinel value will change when adding new types. That may affect
userspace. We managed to get rid of the sentinel in the rkisp1 driver,
it would be nice to do the same here.

I have a really hard time parsing the second sentence. Let me try to
rephrase it.

 * First, the skip_y, offset_x and offset_y fields define which pixels will be
 * counted in the statistics within a 2x2 pixels region.

Is that what you meant ?

I'd drop "covered by the pattern" as I'm not sure what that means.

That sounds strange, I would have expected offset_y to control something
vertically, not control the horizontal position on the second line. If
that's how the hardware operates, why not.

And here maybe "control how the 2x2 pixel region is repeated ...".
s/pattern/region/ in the rest.

This is otherwise a great explanation, thank you.

Yes, although I feel it's a bit iffy...perhaps "...which of the pixels within each 2x2 region will 
be counted in the statistics"?

Yes it is strange, but that's what the documentation says.

I have actually used the union in libcamera too, to clean up the code there handling filling the 
blocks. We could redefine it within libcamera of course but given it's useful in userspace too, I 
thought it made sense to keep it in the header...what do you think?

I would prefer minimizing the area of the UAPI. Have you looked at the
parameters helper I implemented for the rkisp1 IPA module ? Maybe a
similar approach could be used for the C55, and that wouldn't require
the union.

+/**
+ * struct mali_c55_params_aexp_hist - configuration for AEXP metering hists
+ *
+ * This struct allows users to configure the 1024-bin AEXP histograms. Broadly
+ * speaking the parameters allow you to mask particular regions of the image and
+ * to select different kinds of histogram.
+ *
+ * The skip_x, offset_x, skip_y and offset_y fields allow users to ignore or
+ * mask pixels in the frame by their position relative to the top left pixel.
+ * First, the skip_y, offset_x and offset_y fields define a 2x2 pixel pattern of
+ * which pixels covered by the pattern will be counted in the statistics.
+ *
+ * If skip_y == 0 then two pixels from each coveredregion will be counted. If
+ * both offset_x and offset_y are zero, then the two left-most pixels in each
+ * 2x2 pixel region covered by the pattern will be counted. Setting offset_x = 1
+ * will discount the top left pixel and count the top right pixel. Setting
+ * offset_y = 1 will discount the bottom left pixel and count the bottom right
+ * pixel.
+ *
+ * If skip_y != 0 then only a single pixel from each region covered by the
+ * pattern will be counted. In this case offset_x controls whether the pixel
+ * that's counted is in the left (if offset_x == 0) or right (if offset_x == 1)
+ * column and offset_y controls whether the pixel that's counted is in the top
+ * (if offset_y == 0) or bottom (if offset_y == 1) row.
+ *
+ * The skip_x and skip_y fields control how the pixel masking pattern is
+ * repeated across the image data. The first instance of the pattern is always
+ * in the top left of the image data. The skip_x field controls how many pixels
+ * are ignored in the x direction before the pixel masking pattern is repeated.
+ * The skip_y field controls how many pixels are ignored in the y direction
+ * before the pixel masking pattern is repeated.
+ *
+ * These fields can be used to reduce the number of pixels counted for the
+ * statistics, but it's important to be careful to configure them correctly.
+ * Some combinations of values will result in colour components from the input
+ * data being ignored entirely, for example in the following configuration:
+ *
+ * skip_x = 0
+ * offset_x = 0
+ * skip_y = 0
+ * offset_y = 0
+ *
+ * Only the R and Gb components of RGGB data that was input would be collected.
+ * Similarly in the following configuration:
+ *
+ * skip_x = 0
+ * offset_x = 0
+ * skip_y = 1
+ * offset_y = 1
+ *
+ * Only the Gb component of RGGB data that was input would be collected. To
+ * correct things such that all 4 colour components were included it would be
+ * necessary to set the skip_x and skip_y fields in a way that resulted in all
+ * four colour components being collected:
+ *
+ * skip_x = 1
+ * offset_x = 0
+ * skip_y = 1

+ * struct mali_c55_params_buffer - 3A configuration parameters
+ *
+ * This struct contains the configuration parameters of the Mali-C55 ISP
+ * algorithms, serialized by userspace into a data buffer. Each configuration
+ * parameter block is represented by a block-specific structure which contains a
+ * :c:type:`mali_c55_params_block_header` entry as first member. Userspace
+ * populates the @data buffer with configuration parameters for the blocks that
+ * it intends to configure. As a consequence, the data buffer effective size
+ * changes according to the number of ISP blocks that userspace intends to
+ * configure.
+ *
+ * The parameters buffer is versioned by the @version field to allow modifying
+ * and extending its definition. Userspace shall populate the @version field to
+ * inform the driver about the version it intends to use. The driver will parse
+ * and handle the @data buffer according to the data layout specific to the
+ * indicated version and return an error if the desired version is not
+ * supported.
+ *
+ * For each ISP block that userspace wants to configure, a block-specific
+ * structure is appended to the @data buffer, one after the other without gaps
+ * in between nor overlaps. Userspace shall populate the @total_size field with
+ * the effective size, in bytes, of the @data buffer.
+ *
+ * The expected memory layout of the parameters buffer is::
