Steps to reproduce the problem:
Start Chromium on a Qualcomm embedded hardware and try to access the v4l2 cameras as HTML5 media objects.
What is the expected behavior?
The cameras start streaming video.
What went wrong?
Cameras on Qualcomm embedded hardware are exposed as multiplanar devices (V4L2_CAP_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE / V4L2_BUF_TYPE_VIDEO_CAPTURE_MPLANE).
There was a change set that added support for this type of devices back in 2014 ( Issue 441836 ). However, this support broke by a later change set ( Issue 585519 ) that purely aimed for a simple cleanup but caused a severe regression instead, most probably without even noticing because the change log didn't mention the fact.
This is clearly a regression that not only affects standalone Chromium but also frameworks that depend on it, for instance, QtWebEngine.
Did this work before? Yes 50.0.2654.2
