[v11,06/11] v4l2-ctrls: add support for V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MIN/MAX_VAL

From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl>

Add the capability of retrieving the min and max values of a
compound control.

Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl>
Signed-off-by: Yunke Cao <yunkec@google.com>
---
Changelog since v10:
- No change.
Changelog since v9:
- No change.
Changelog since v8:
- Return ENODATA when min/max is not implemented. Document this behavior.
- Created a shared helper function __v4l2_ctrl_type_op_init that takes "which"
  as a parameter. Call it in def, min and max operations.
Changelog since v7:
- Document that the definition of the min/max are provided by compound controls
  are defined in control documentation.
- Return error, instead of zeroed memory for v4l2_ctrl_ptr_create(NULL).

git am from https://lore.kernel.org/all/20191119113457.57833-3-hverkuil-cisco@xs4all.nl/
- Fixed some merge conflits.
- Fixed the build error in drivers/media/platform/qcom/venus.

typo: minmimum -> minimum

That last line is a bit ambiguous, I suggest this:

If  ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MIN_VAL`` and ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MAX_VAL`` are not supported,
then querying the minimum or maximum value will result in -ENODATA.

Thinking some more about this, I believe it would be better to add a flag
indicating WHICH_MIN/MAX support. I never like relying on an error to
discover a feature. You still need this error, but in addition we need a new
flag:

#define V4L2_CTRL_FLAG_HAS_WHICH_MIN_MAX 0x1000

that is set for any control that supports this.

I think the intent here was to indicate that drivers must return
-ENODATA for V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MIN_VAL and V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MAX_VAL if the
control's documentation doesn't specify the meaning of minimum and
maximum for a control. A flag to indicate support for this new API is
likely a good idea, but the documentation here should still clearly
indicate that only controls that have defined minimum and maximum
concepts in the API documentation can implement this API.

This flag is specific to the control ID: so if set, then you can get
the min/max value using V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MIN/MAX_VAL for that control ID.

This flag must be set for any control that uses the s64 minimum/maximum
fields in struct v4l2_ext_query_ctrl, and for any compound control that
has explicit support for MIN/MAX_VAL (the UVC rectangle control in this
case).

Noob question: does this include all the non-compound controls?
Are drivers responsible for setting this flag for these controls?

Yes. Almost all of those have valid and always present min/max ranges.

No, the v4l2 control framework provides that automatically. It just needs
to set the flag. Note that there are some standard types that do not
support this (BUTTON, CTRL_CLASS are the only ones I think), so those should
not set this flag. I think so, at least. Might have to sleep on it for a bit.

I realized that ENODATA is wrong: ENODATA implies that while there is no data
now, there might be in the future. That's not the case here. I think the correct
error code is EINVAL: the value of the 'which' field is invalid for this control.

I don't really like having an error return in such a low-level function.

Why not make these functions return void, and do the same as in std_init_compound:

        if (ctrl->p_min.p_const)
                memcpy(p, ctrl->p_min.p_const, ctrl->elem_size);
        else
                memset(p, 0, ctrl->elem_size);

This has the added advantage that if the minimum is all zero, then you don't
need to supply a p_min value.

The actual check if WHICH_MIN_VAL is allowed should take place at a much
higher level, and it can just check for the presence of the new control flag.

Regards,

	Hans
