Hi Tim,

Thank you for the patch.

How about modeling this with a GPIO-controlled regulator, and connecting
it to the IMX219 through the *-supply properties ?

I like the idea of centralizing DT overlays. I'm not sure where to best
store them, and I don't know if this has been discussed already, but the
kernel supports compilation of DT overlays, so I assume it's meant to be
used. Rob may have an opinion on this.

What we're really missing is a way to parametrize DT overlays, so that a
single overlay file could be used with different hosts. Discussions
about DT connectors have died out as far as I know, but they were aiming
at overlays being applied at runtime. I'm not aware of a similar effort
to standardize connectors when applying overlays in the boot loader. The
Raspberry Pi boot loader has a proprietary implementation of this
feature, which is very handy.
