Implement support for ROI as described in UVC 1.5:
4.2.2.1.20 Digital Region of Interest (ROI) Control

ROI control is implemented using V4L2 control API as
two UVC-specific controls:
V4L2_CID_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_RECT and
V4L2_CID_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO.

If I create 8 Booleans, they will always be shown in the device. And
the user will not have a way to know which values are available and
which are not.

We will also fail the v4l2-compliance test, because there will be up
to 7 boolean controls that will not be able to be set to 1, eventhough
they are writable.

Thanks for the prompt review.

I guess we could, but we would have to make a big change in the way
the controls are probed today. uvc does not use the control framework.

What will be the benefit of using 8 controls?
- Applications still have to know what those controls do, they should
not rely on the control name.
- Changing from lets say AUTO_EXPOSURE to AUTO_FOCUS, will require to
send at least 2 controls via v4l2_s_ext_control... I think it is more
practical and less prone to errrors to send just one control

If the number of autos were unknown, then having multiple controls
could be a good idea, but they are part of the uvc standard and
unlikely to be changed.

Applications like v4l2-ctl are not aware of every controls, work by
control type, and let the user decide what to do, based on the name.

To avoid having to know each bitmask type control, they need to be able
to query which bit means what and what to display to the user.

Could VIDIOC_QUERYMENU be supplemented with this?

Yes, that could be a good reason.

I believe that violates compliance. VIDIOC_QUERYMENU should only be
used on menus.

So why can't these other controls be set to 1? Because only one
of the options in the bitmask can be selected at a time ?

If only 1 bit in the UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_BITMASK for this can be one
at the time, then this should be mapped to a V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_MENU
just like how that is done for V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO already.

Actually looking at existing comments about UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_BITMASK
in the driver there is this comment on top of uvc_mapping_get_menu_value()

 * For controls of type UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_BITMASK, the UVC control value is
 * expressed as a bitmask and is thus guaranteed to have a single bit set.

Assuming this "guaranteed to have a single bit set" comment is valid for
the V4L2_CID_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO part of UVC_CT_REGION_OF_INTEREST_CONTROL
too then I think we should simply map this to a menu similar to how
this is done for V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO.

Note V4L2_CID_EXPOSURE_AUTO is the only existing user of UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_BITMASK
at the moment.

Mapping this to a menu should nicely address Gergo's concerns here.

Hans

The UVC standard is not very clear re bmAutoControls. It says:
"""
The bmAutoControls bitmask determines which, if any, on board features
should track to the region of interest. To detect if a device supports
a particular Auto Control, use GET_MAX which returns a mask indicating
all supported Auto Controls.
GET_CUR returns the current Region of Interest (RoI) being employed by
the device. This RoI should be the same as specified in most recent
SET_CUR except in the case where the ‘Auto Detect and Track’ and/or
‘Image Stabilization’ bit have been set.
"""

Which makes me believe that you can set another Auto value + one of
these ones. So I do not think that we can assume "guaranteed to have a
single bit set".

The behaviour will vary module to module. So I'd rather take a
conservative approach here and let the hardware clamp the value and
not us.
