Hi Dave,

Thank you for the review.

The CSI controller which I am using doesn't support capture of higher
resolutions
as a result I have added support for a lower resolution.

This driver was developed in house for imx219 sensor.

Sure ill update it to the following:
/*
* Register sets lifted off the i2C interface from the Raspberry Pi firmware
* driver for resolutions 3280x2464, 1920x1080 1640x1232.
* 3280x2464 = mode 2, 1920x1080 = mode 1, 1640x1232 = mode 4, 640x480 = mode 1.

Agreed I have tested both the sequence works, I have now replaced as

I have reverted it to auto mode.

line length of 0x0d78 works as expected, so I have changed it now.

as you discovered the vlaue should be 0x0A for 640x480. No I havent
tested it for
10bit.
