Indeed there appears to be no other way to achieve the LP-11 state than
going through the streaming state for this particular sensor, apart from
starting streaming.

Is there a particular reason why you're waiting for the transmitter to
transfer to LP-11 state? That appears to be the last step which is done in
the csi2_s_stream() callback.

What the sensor does next is to start streaming, and the first thing it does
in that process is to switch to LP-11 state.

Have you tried what happens if you simply drop the LP-11 check? To me that
would seem the right thing to do.
