Have you activated the media controller links? The s_power is called when the subdev is part of a pipeline in which the video device node is opened. You can see example configurations for the Qualcomm CAMSS driver on: https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/ConsumerEdition/DragonBoard-410c/Guides/CameraModule.md This will probably answer most of your questions. > > The general setup seems to work fine though.
