24/**
25 * Camera provider HAL, which enumerates the available individual camera devices
26 * known to the provider, and provides updates about changes to device status,
27 * such as connection, disconnection, or torch mode enable/disable.
28 *
29 * The provider is responsible for generating a list of camera device service
30 * names that can then be opened via the hardware service manager.
31 *
32 * Multiple camera provider HALs may be present in a single system.
33 * For discovery, the service names, and process names, must be of the form
34 * "android.hardware.camera.provider@<major>.<minor>/<type>/<instance>"
35 * where
36 *   - <major>/<minor> is the provider HAL HIDL version,
37 *   - <type> is the type of devices this provider knows about, such as
38 *     "internal", "legacy", "external", "remote" etc. The camera framework
39 *     must not differentiate or chage its behavior based on the specific type.
40 *   - <instance> is a non-negative integer starting from 0 to disambiguate
41 *     between multiple HALs of the same type.
42 *
43 * The "legacy" type is only used for passthrough legacy HAL mode, and must
44 * not be used by a standalone binderized HAL.
45 *
46 * The device instance names enumerated by the provider in getCameraIdList() or
47 * ICameraProviderCallback::cameraDeviceStatusChange() must be of the form
48 * "device@<major>.<minor>/<type>/<id>" where
49 * <major>/<minor> is the HIDL version of the interface. <id> is either a small
50 * incrementing integer for "internal" device types, with 0 being the main
51 * back-facing camera and 1 being the main front-facing camera, if they exist.
52 * Or, for external devices, a unique serial number (if possible) that can be
53 * used to identify the device reliably when it is disconnected and reconnected.
54 *
55 * Multiple providers must not enumerate the same device ID.
