    [media] media/v4l2-ctrls: fix setting autocluster to manual with VIDIOC_S_CTRL · 759b26a1
    Antonio Ospite 提交于
    Since commit 5d0360a4 it's not possible
    anymore to set auto clusters from auto to manual using VIDIOC_S_CTRL.
    
    For example, setting autogain to manual with gspca/ov534 driver and this
    sequence of commands does not work:
    
      v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=gain_automatic=1
      v4l2-ctl --list-ctrls | grep gain_automatic
      # The following does not work
      v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=gain_automatic=0
      v4l2-ctl --list-ctrls | grep gain_automatic
    
    Changing the value using VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS (like qv4l2 does) works
    fine.
    
    The apparent cause by looking at the changes in 5d0360a4 and comparing
    with the code path for VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS seems to be that the code in
    v4l2-ctrls.c::set_ctrl() is not calling user_to_new() anymore after
    calling update_from_auto_cluster(master).
    
    However the root cause of the problem is that calling
    update_from_auto_cluster(master) overrides also the _master_ control
    state calling cur_to_new() while it was supposed to only update the
    volatile controls.
    
    Calling user_to_new() after update_from_auto_cluster(master) was just
    masking the original bug by restoring the correct new value of the
    master control before making the changes permanent.
    
    Fix the original bug by making update_from_auto_cluster() not override
    the new master control value.
