In my testing, it takes around two seconds to write this table to the sensor.

I can investigate how to condense the table further, though the
registers for this sensor are more complex than just writing values to
addresses. The meaning of certain address writes depend on previous
writes -- thus the "duplicated" writes you mentioned.

I do not believe this table contains tuning information for our camera
module in particular.

Okay, I will drop these functions in v4. Thanks.
