Laurent Pinchart f08b18ebe9 ipa: Drop period at end of \brief or \param
A few periods crept in at the end of Doxygen \brief or \param statements
in the src/ipa/ directory. Remove them all in one go.

*
* To specialize the Algorithm class template, an IPA module shall specialize

* Processing shall not take an undue amount of time, and any extended or

* Algorithms can store state in their respective IPAFrameContext structures,

* \todo Historical data may be required as part of the processing.
* Either the previous frame, or the IPAFrameContext state of the frame
* that generated the statistics for this operation may be required for
* some advanced algorithms to prevent oscillations or support control
* loops correctly. Only a single IPAFrameContext is available currently,

* Care shall be taken to ensure the ordering of access to the information
* such that the algorithms use up to date state as required.
