Hi Tomasz, Sakari, Thanks for your kindly comments. We will have an internal discussion on VBLANK control implementation to let it be read-only.
And for test pattern, we will definitely implement it but will remove the item from v4l2 menu first. However, since in the early stage, we found an issue that if not register TEST_PATTERN V4L2 item in kernel, HAL will crash soon when open camera. We would like to resolve the issue both in HAL and kernel (removing test pattern) first. For test pattern implementation on imx258, it must be needed due to cros-camera-test demands it. Will complete and submit it after full internal verification.

Ah, you're right, it's just hblank... but if the driver doesn't support setting this control, then it should most likely be read-only. It would seem like that the driver just updates the control to convey the value to the user. > > Also, I'm not sure about the control framework setting read-only > control.
