Hi,

Logitech Streamcam can be mounted in 'portrait mode' as well.
It reports the current roll (-90, 0, 90, 180) with
UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL.

This RFC defines V4L2_CID_ROLL_ABSOLUTE, and maps
UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL to make it available to
userspace.
Then, the userspace can rotate the stream based on the roll.

Is it better to use V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION for this?
The value set matches that control.
If yes, is it worth mapping UVC_CT_ROLL_ABSOLUTE_CONTROL to
V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION for this camera only?

Any feedback is greately appreciated.
