+ *
+ * 3. Device state change notification. This module version also supports
+ *    notification about the overall device state change, such as
+ *    folding/unfolding, or covering/uncovering of shutter.

+     *
+     * For example, a physical shutter may have been uncovered or covered,
+     * or a camera may have been covered or uncovered by an add-on keyboard
+     * or other accessory.
+     *
+     * The state is a bitfield of potential states, and some physical configurations
+     * could plausibly correspond to multiple different combinations of state bits.
+     * The HAL must ignore any state bits it is not actively using to determine
+     * the appropriate camera configuration.
+     *
+     * For example, on some devices the FOLDED state could mean that
+     * backward-facing cameras are covered by the fold, so FOLDED by itself implies
+     * BACK_COVERED. But other devices may support folding but not cover any cameras
+     * when folded, so for those FOLDED would not imply any of the other flags.
+     * Since these relationships are very device-specific, it is difficult to specify
+     * a comprehensive policy.  But as a recommendation, it is suggested that if a flag
+     * necessarily implies other flags are set as well, then those flags should be set.
+     * So even though FOLDED would be enough to infer BACK_COVERED on some devices, the
+     * BACK_COVERED flag should also be set for clarity.
+     *
+     * This method may be invoked by the HAL client at any time. It must not
+     * cause any active camera device sessions to be closed, but may dynamically
+     * change which physical camera a logical multi-camera is using for its
+     * active and future output.
+     *
+     * The method must be invoked by the HAL client at least once before the
+     * client calls ICameraDevice::open on any camera device interfaces listed
+     * by this provider, to establish the initial device state.
+     *
+     * Note that the deviceState is 64-bit bitmask, with system defined states in
+     * lower 32-bit and vendor defined states in upper 32-bit.
