Rpi 4 & 5 Libcamera & Mmap permission issue on Android 14

My feeling is the issue is related to Raspberry Pi specifically and not libcamera in general.
Since USB cameras works fine and other platforms.
I did log the issue initially there https://github.com/raspberrypi/libcamera/issues/140

Don't worry - replying inline below is perfect ;-)

So - I think the people who can help here - are whoever creates raspberry-vanilla.

Looking at that repo - I see:

 - https://github.com/raspberry-vanilla/android_external_libcamera

with commits like:
 
 - https://github.com/raspberry-vanilla/android_external_libcamera/commit/273444b74a404e9949392b406322768bc2a02892
   " HACK: android: Use minigbm handle structure to obtain strides/offsets


or
 - "Revert "android: mm: Stub libhardware for build tests"
   https://github.com/raspberry-vanilla/android_external_libcamera/commit/de602c98713c910b042204128eae322161ee641a

So I think they might be the place to look for further support as they have inevitably made key changes to libcamera to be able to run on top of android.


rsglobal, konstat - can you help Johan here by any chance?
