** Description changed:

+ [SRU Justification]
+ 
+ BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2061747
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+ Starting from kernel v6.8, Intel demands the use of in-tree VSC driver
+ instead of the out-of-tree dkms originated from
+ https://github.com/intel/ivsc-driver.
+ 
+ [Fix]
+ 
+ The in-tree vsc driver as of v6.8 still need a few fixes to archive the
+ same supportness to launched Intel IPU6 Camera devices. Commit 1,3, and
+ 4 are to add supported devices and platforms. Commit 2 resolves an issue
+ after resumed.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ This is supposed to work together with the updated dkms, which shall
+ also be built along with the kernel itself as linux-modules-ipu6-.
+ Install the corresponding kernel/modules packages and test camera
+ functions.
+ 
+ [Where problems could occur]
+ 
+ While this is the first time we switch to in-tree VSC driver, and the
+ out-of-tree driver is not aligned at the time of transition and probably
+ never will, the provided functions and verified stability issues may
+ vary.
+ 
+ [Other Info]
+ 
+ The dkms is created to be compatible of multiple versions, yet the in-
+ tree vsc driver transitioning should only happen for kernel >= v6.8.
+ That is, oem-6.8, noble and linux-unstable will be nominated.
+ 
+ ========== original bug description ==========
+ 
  Starting from kernel v6.8 (yet from the code diff it's v6.6), Intel
  demands the use of in-tree IVSC drivers instead of out-of-tree dkms from
  https://github.com/intel/ivsc-driver.
