Frontal binning is Mediatek ISP P1 HW function and it is designed for
low power saving. The input sensor resolution will be divided by 2
including width & height in the source side of ISP HW and lower the
overall ISP throughput. So the ISP clock could be running in the low
speed for power saving. However, the image quality will be bad in this
mode. If the frontal binning is enabled by ISP driver, user space 3A
algorithm needs to know the new resolution of TG. Btw, current ISP
driver doesn't support this function. We just export this V4L2 contorl
for future support. But, after internal discussing, we will remove this
v4l2 control in next patch.

For this V4L2 control, it is designed for per stream, not per frame and
just implemented for future usage. As the same conclusion with the above
one, we will remove this, either in current version. If we have strong
requirement on this, we could adopt your suggestion to use media
topology to per stream control.

This is because binning mode is not supported in current driver's
implementation and no request on this function. We just create this for
future usage. In order to avoid confusion, we will remove this.

Ok, thanks for your correction.

Ok, thanks for your correction.

Ok, we will pay attention in this of implementation next time.

Based on above comments, we will remove mtk_cam_ctrl.h & mtk_cam_ctrl.c
in next patch to avoid over design.

Thanks for your comments.
