I know that Intel wrote a GPLv2 driver for the CSI host controller in
Merrifield, Baytrail, Anniedale and Cherrytrail. It is part of their
Android kernel. You might have luck searching for an Android kernel
for a Skylake tablet. But be careful, the driver I know only supports
a fixed set of configurations. It seems like Intel expects every
manufacturer to just copy their reference design down to the GPIO
numbers used to reset the camera sensors.
Best regards,
Daniel
