I have experience building Linux kernel and dynamic modules.

I tried to build the libcamera source and run the qcam application. I was
able to see the captured frames (from the integrated webcam) in the qcam
application (which uses libcamera library build).

Warmup Tasks:
I am trying to enable vimc in the libcamera build (I have not used the
meson build system before).
I also tried to load the vimc module (modprobe vimc) and capture frames
from the vimc device file (/dev/video<3/4/5>) using the default application
in ubuntu (application name: cheese). But I got an error.

I will try to apply the corresponding patches to the linux kernel and
libcamera.

Regards
Prashanth S
