Re: [PATCH v9 10/15] media: uapi: Add V4L2_CTRL_TYPE_FIXED_POINT

From: Hans Verkuil
Date: Fri Nov 17 2023 - 07:07:55 EST


Here is an RFC patch adding support for 'fraction_bits'. It's lacking
documentation, but it can be used for testing.

It was rather a pain logging fixed point number in a reasonable format,
but I think it is OK.

In userspace (where you can use floating point) it is a lot easier:

printf("%.*g\n", fraction_bits, (double)v * (1.0 / (1ULL << fraction_bits)));

I decided to only expose fraction_bits in struct v4l2_query_ext_ctrl.
I could add it to struct v4l2_queryctrl, but I did not think that was
necessary. Other opinions are welcome.

In the meantime, let me know if this works for your patch series. If it
does, then I can clean this up.

Regards,

Hans
