A new virtual pipeline handler, IPA support for the Mali-C55, updated control handling and better support for reporting controls in GUI applications, and lots of work everywhere. Interesting new support for full dewarp control on the i.MX8MP, and updates to tuning processes too!

Umang's continuing work on destaging the Raspberry Pi VCHIQ driver has had another essential series taken for staging-testing. This was a big rework - and brings us much closer to being able to upstream Raspberry Pi 4 ISP support! \o/

Dan has the Kakip Renesas RZ/V2H board now running a mainline Linux kernel ! Will be very exciting to see this board running fully upstream software!

This board has the Mali C55 ISP that Dan wrote drivers for 😉

V5 of the Mali-C55 ISP is now posted to the linux-media mailing list by Daniel Scally.

This is more great progress on upstream ISP development! (And the ISP is already supported in libcamera).
