[PATCH 0/4] Add front-facing camera support for Nothing Phone (1)

[PATCH 0/4] Add front-facing camera support for Nothing Phone (1)

[Danila Tikhonov]

This series adds support for the Sony IMX471 front-facing camera sensor
on the Nothing Phone (1).

The Sony IMX471 driver currently supports the sensor only on ACPI-based
platforms. To support the sensor on the Nothing Phone (1), this series
adds handling for the required vdig and vif supplies, extends the driver
for use on Devicetree-based systems, and enables the sensor as the
device's front-facing camera.

- Patch 1 adds the Sony IMX471 CMOS image sensor dt-binding.
- Patch 2 updates the Sony IMX471 sensor driver to support the required 
vdig and vif power supplies.
- Patch 3 updates the Sony IMX471 sensor driver to add Device Tree
matching support.
- Patch 4 adds and configures the nodes required to enable the Sony
IMX471 front-facing camera in the Nothing Phone (1) Device Tree.

The sensor also supports two-lane operation.

The sensor isn't limited to 200 MHz, is it? I just wouldn't specify it at
all.

[PATCH 2/4] drivers: media: i2c: imx471: Add vdig and vif power supplies

[Danila Tikhonov]

According to the product brief, the IMX471 sensor requires analog
(vana, 2.8V), digital (vdig, 1.05V), and interface (vif, 1.8V) power
supplies. Currently, only the analog supply is requested.

Add 'vdig' and 'vif' to the regulator supply array. Following the
pattern of other media i2c drivers (e.g., imx219, imx415), the regulator
core will automatically substitute dummy regulators if these are
missing.

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential issue(s) to consider:

Pre-existing issues:
- [High] The `dev_pm_ops` structure pointer `&imx471_pm_ops` is incorrectly wrapped with `pm_sleep_ptr()`, discarding runtime PM callbacks when `CONFIG_PM_SLEEP` is disabled.

[Severity: High]
This is a pre-existing issue, but is it intended to use pm_sleep_ptr() here 
instead of pm_ptr()? 

When CONFIG_PM is enabled but CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is disabled, pm_sleep_ptr() 
evaluates to NULL. This drops the entire dev_pm_ops structure and its runtime 
PM callbacks in imx471_i2c_driver. 

Will this cause the device to permanently leak power on embedded platforms 
because the regulators and clocks are never disabled after probe or between 
streams?
