[RFC v2 2/5] Documentation: media: Describe exposure and gain controls for multiple captures
Posted by Mirela Rabulea 1 month, 2 weeks ago
The standard controls for exposure and gains allow a
single value, for a single capture. For sensors with HDR
capabilities or context switching, this is not enough, so
add new controls that allow multiple values, one for each
capture.

Changes in v2:
	Mention order inside array, from longest to shortest exposure
	Mention not to implement the -single controls if -multi controls are implemented
