Re: [PATCH 2/2] media: i2c: imx471: Add Sony IMX471 image sensor driver

From: Alex Petheram

Date: Fri Jul 17 2026 - 20:01:16 EST


Tested-by: Alex Petheram <alex@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Tested on ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 14 (21S3), Intel Core Ultra X7 358H
(Panther Lake), IPU7 (8086:b05d), Ubuntu 26.04, kernel 7.0.0-27-generic.

Sensor at i2c-9, address 0x1a, ACPI HID TBE20A0. Chip ID 0x0471 read
from register 0x0016. Working pipeline via v4l2-relayd producing
NV12 frames at 1280x720 (max resolution TBC — may be a v4l2-relayd
scaling limitation rather than a driver issue).

Out-of-tree build of this driver against stock staging intel_ipu7
works with no kernel patches required — just blacklisting ov02c10.

Thanks,
Alex
