It seems this behaviour is generic across several sensors. As far as I know, the
mt9m111 has 2 modes : low power low resolution, and high power high resolution,
and both are programmable apart (in terms of resolution, zoom, etc ...)
What this makes me think is that a sensor could provide several "contexts" of
use, as :
- full resolution still image context
- low resolution still image context
- full resolution video context
- low resolution video context
Then, a new/existing v4l2 call would switch the context (perhaps based on buffer
type ?) of the sensor.
Well, that's just some junk I've been thinking over lately.
Cheers.
