[PATCH 0/2] Add Sony IMX471 camera sensor driver
From: Kate Hsuan
Date: Fri Apr 17 2026 - 04:37:05 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.
