We add a new control V4L2_CID_NOTIFY_GAINS which allows the sensor to be notified what gains will be applied to the different colour channels by subsequent processing (such as by an ISP), even though the sensor will not apply any of these gains itself. For Bayer sensors this will be an array control taking 4 values which are the 4 gains arranged in the fixed order B, Gb, Gr and R, irrespective of the exact Bayer order of the sensor itself. The use of an array makes it straightforward to extend this control to non-Bayer sensors (for example, sensors with an RGBW pattern) in future. The units are in all cases linear with the default value indicating a gain of exactly 1.0. For example, if the default value were reported as 128 then the value 192 would represent a gain of exactly 1.5.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
