     * combination MUST at the very least support the following streams while
     * streaming concurrently with the other camera ids in the combination.

     * | Type         |   Size   |   Type       |   Size   |
     * -----------------------------------------------------
     * | YUV          |  s1440p  |                         |

     * where:
     * s720p - min (max output resolution for the given format, 1280 X 720)
     * s1440p - min (max output resolution for the given format, 1920 X 1440)
     *
     * If a device has MONOCHROME capability (device's capabilities include
     * ANDROID_REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES_MONOCHROME) and therefore supports Y8
     * outputs, stream combinations mentioned above, where YUV is substituted by
     * Y8 must be also supported.
     *
     * Devices whose capabilities do not include
     * ANDROID_REQUEST_AVAILABLE_CAPABILITIES_BACKWARD_COMPATIBLE, must support
     * at least a single Y16 stream, Dataspace::DEPTH with sVGA resolution,
     * during concurrent operation.
     * Where sVGA -  min (max output resolution for the given format, 640 X 480)
     *
     * The camera framework must call this method whenever it gets a
     * cameraDeviceStatusChange callback adding a new camera device or removing
     * a camera device known to it. This is so that the camera framework can get new combinations
     * of camera ids that can stream concurrently, that might have potentially appeared.
     *
     * For each combination (and their subsets) of camera device ids returned by
     * getConcurrentStreamingCameraIds(): If only the mandatory combinations can
     * be supported concurrently by each device, then the resource costs must
     * sum up to > 100 for the concurrent set, to ensure arbitration between
     * camera applications work as expected. Only if resources are sufficient
     * to run a set of cameras at full capability (maximally
     * resource-consuming framerate and stream size settings available in the
     * configuration settings exposed through camera metadata), should the sum
     * of resource costs for the combination be <= 100.
     *
     * For guaranteed concurrent camera operation, the camera framework must call
     * ICameraDevice.open() on all devices (intended for concurrent operation), before configuring
     * any streams on them. This gives the camera HAL process an opportunity to potentially
     * distribute hardware resources better before stream configuration.
     *
     * Due to potential hardware constraints around internal switching of physical camera devices,
     * a device's complete ZOOM_RATIO_RANGE(if supported), may not apply during concurrent
     * operation. If ZOOM_RATIO is supported, camera HALs must ensure ZOOM_RATIO_RANGE of
     * [1.0, ANDROID_SCALER_AVAILABLE_MAX_DIGITAL_ZOOM] is supported by that device, during
     * concurrent operation.
     *
     * @return status Status code for the operation
     * @return cameraIds a list of camera id combinations that support
     *         concurrent stream configurations with the minimum guarantees
     *         specified.

     * The framework can call this method at any time before, during and

     * impact the performance of pending camera requests in any way. In

     * camera streaming.
     *
     * The framework must not call this method with any combination of camera
     * ids that is not a subset of the camera ids advertised by getConcurrentStreamingCameraIds of
     * the same provider.
     *
     * Performance requirements:
     * This call is expected to be significantly faster than stream
     * configuration. In general HW and SW camera settings must not be
     * changed and there must not be a user-visible impact on camera performance.

     *                configurations that need to be queried for support.

     *     OK:
