Hello,
When I set V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE control to FALSE, which one of the
following is the expected behavior?
1. Hold the current white balance settting.
2. Set the white balance to whatever V4L2_CID_WHITE_BALANCE_TEMPERATURE
control is set to.
The V4L2 API spec doesn't specify this clearly.
Regards,
-Shuzhen

Nevermind. I think behavior #1 makes more sense.

I agree with that.

The reason why the specification doesn't clearly state what must be done is
that the behaviour might be hardware dependent. Some hardware won't offer
option 1, so drivers will be forced to go for option 2.
(I'm not totally sure that's why the specification isn't clear about the
expected behaviour, but it's at least a good justification for it :-))
