[Fix] The in-tree vsc driver as of v6.8 still needs a few fixes to achieve the same support level to launch 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-<variant>. 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 kernel 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.
