Thanks. Is your setup using 1 or 2 lanes? (I assume 2...)

Another question, unrelated to this specific issue: was the ov5640
working with dragonboard before this patch? I'm asking as I've seen
different behaviors between different platforms, and knowing this
fixes a widespread one like dragonboard is, would help getting this
patches in faster :)

Thanks
