Re: [PATCH v6 0/2] Pinefeat cef168 lens control board driver

Hi Aliaksandr,

I've been asked by Kieran Bingham to review your patches, I've 
reproduced your work on setup with a Pi 5 with a 6.18 kernel and I got a 
few questions

I built the calibration application but it would not work out the box,
I can see that CEF168_V4L2_CID_CUSTOM is different between that is in 
the patch and in the application? Which is the correct one, does the 
patch need updating?

The tool to modify the device tree also did not work with the IMX477, I 
needed to manually modify my device tree to get the dtbo to build, there 
needs to be some further discussions on how we could improve the user 
experience when it comes to enabling the vcm with camera sensors.
