[PATCH v1 1/1] arm64: dts: imx8mm-var-dart-sonata: Add OV5640 camera support

From: Stefano Radaelli

Date: Thu Oct 15 2026 - 14:34:16 EST


From: Stefano Radaelli <stefano.r@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add support for the OV5640 camera connected to the Sonata carrier
board's first MIPI CSI port.

Describe the sensor on I2C2, its 24 MHz reference clock, fixed supplies,
and reset and power-down signals controlled by the GPIO expander.
Connect the sensor to the MIPI CSI receiver using two data lanes and
enable the receiver and CSI bridge.
