[PATCH v2 0/2] Add Sony IMX471 camera sensor driver

From: Kate Hsuan

Date: Tue May 05 2026 - 02:14:43 EST


This patchset adds the Sony IMX471 camera sensor driver to the Linux
kernel and resolves the IPU7 camera can't work issueon Lenovo X9
laptops [1].

The patchset contains two patches:
1. Add DMI information of Lenovo X9 to the image upside-down list
2. Add Sony IMX471 image sensor driver

The IMX471 driver can be found in the Intel ipu6-drivers repository [2].
To comply with the sensor driver implementation, the clean-up work
includes:

1. Use CCI register helpers.

2. Enable and disable streams using enable_streams and disable_streams
functions in struct v4l2_subdev_pad_ops. Invoke
v4l2_subdev_s_stream_helper() to manage the streaming state.

3. Get rotation information from fwnode properties using
v4l2_fwnode_device_parse().

4. Finalizes the initialization of the subdev, including allocation of
the active state using v4l2_subdev_init_finalize().

5. Add the IMX471 driver to the Makefile and Kconfig file.

6. The mutex lock is managed by the V4l2 core.

7. Replace the supported link frequency with v4l2_link_freq_to_bitmap().

8. Drop unused codes.

Changes in v2:
1. Change the Bayer format setting according to the vertical and horizontal flip settings.
2. Replace the self-owned mutex with the v4l2 subdev state.
3. Rework the flip control.
4. Manage the regulators using devm_regulator_bulk_get|disable|enbale API
5. Invoke devm_v4l2_sensor_clk_get to get clock-frequency
