X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bf2a2202f75cda679303f09d150f9549f9835953;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git V4L/DVB (8870): gspca: Fix dark room problem with sonixb. When using the sonixb driver in a dark room and given that the autoexposure algorithm starts with a setting most suitable for daylight, the picture produced by the cam may actually be 100% black leading to a avg_lum value of 0, so an avg_lum value of 0 does not always signal an exposure settings change (which it normally does). This patch adds a check for the really black image case and stops dropping all frames as invalid in this case.
