+ * struct mali_c55_ae_1024bin_hist - Auto Exposure 1024-bin histogram statistics
+ *
+ * @bins: 1024 element array of 16-bit pixel counts.
+ *
+ * The 1024-bin histogram module collects image-global but zone-weighted
+ * intensity distributions of pixels in fixed-width bins. The modules can be
+ * configured into different "plane modes" which affect the contents of the
+ * collected statistics. In plane mode 0, pixel intensities are taken regardless
+ * of colour plane into a single 1024-bin histogram with a bin width of 4. In
+ * plane mode 1, four 256-bin histograms with a bin width of 16 are collected -
+ * one for each CFA colour plane. In plane modes 4, 5, 6 and 7 two 512-bin
+ * histograms with a bin width of 8 are collected - in each mode one of the
+ * colour planes is collected into the first histogram and all the others are
+ * combined into the second. The histograms are stored consecutively in the bins
+ * array.
+ *
+ * The 16-bit pixel counts are stored as a 4-bit exponent in the most
+ * significant bits followed by a 12-bit mantissa. Conversion to a usable
+ * format can be done according to the following pseudo-code::
+ *
+ * if (e == 0) {
+ * bin = m * 2;
+ * } else {
+ * bin = (m + 4096) * 2^e
+ * }
+ *
+ * where
+ * e is the exponent value in range 0..15
+ * m is the mantissa value in range 0..4095
+ *
+ * The pixels used in calculating the statistics can be masked using three
+ * methods:
+ *
+ * 1. Pixels can be skipped in X and Y directions independently.
+ * 2. Minimum/Maximum intensities can be configured
+ * 3. Zones can be differentially weighted, including 0 weighted to mask them
+ *
+ * The data for this histogram can be collected from different tap points in the
+ * ISP depending on configuration - after the white balance or digital gain
+ * blocks, or immediately after the input crossbar.
