IPU6 camera support status update

Description:
Hans de Goede has posted an
update about his work to support IPU6 cameras on Fedora and
submitting fixes upstream. The initial IPU6 camera support landed in Fedora
41 only works on a
limited set of laptops. The reason for this is that with MIPI cameras
every different sensor and glue-chip like IO-expanders needs to be
supported separately. I have been working on making the camera work on more laptop
models. After receiving and sending many emails and blog post comments
about this I have started filing Fedora bugzilla issues on a per
sensor and/or laptop-model basis to be able to properly keep track of
all the work. LWN covered the lack
of IPU6 drivers in 2022.
