[libcamera-devel] [PATCH v6 5/5] ipa: libcamera: add support for ov8858 sensor

[Nicholas Roth]

The BSP maintainer agreed to use the standard i2c naming convention
("ov8858 foo:bar" instead of "m00_f_ov8858 foo") in the upcoming 6.1
Manjaro-ARM PinePhone Pro kernel release. That might take some time,
but it's encouraging to see.

I'll go ahead and change the device name here to "ov8858" for my next
round of patches.
