   5  V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION
   6
   7 Add documentation for the V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION camera
   8 control. The newly added read-only control reports the camera device
   9 orientation relative to the usage orientation of the system the camera
  10 is installed on.

  30 +    This read-only control describes the camera orientation by reporting its
  31 +    mounting position on the device where the camera is installed. The control
  32 +    value is constant and not modifiable by software. This control is
  33 +    particularly meaningful for devices which have a well defined orientation,
  34 +    such as phones, laptops and portable devices since the control is expressed
  35 +    as a position relative to the device's intended usage orientation. For
  36 +    example, a camera installed on the user-facing side of a phone, a tablet or
  37 +    a laptop device is said to be have ``V4L2_CAMERA_ORIENTATION_FRONT``
  38 +    orientation, while a camera installed on the opposite side of the front one
  39 +    is said to be have ``V4L2_CAMERA_ORIENTATION_BACK`` orientation. Camera
  40 +    sensors not directly attached to the device, or attached in a way that
  41 +    allows them to move freely, such as webcams and digital cameras, are said to
  42 +    have the ``V4L2_CAMERA_ORIENTATION_EXTERNAL`` orientation.
