Hi Steve,

Just a heads up that I've also tested and confirmed partially working
support on a sabrelite + mipi ov5640. The two gotchas I came across were
dma_allocations fail in the higher resolutions (4x1080p buffers), a
limit may need to be upped somewhere, the code says it should be able to
handle up to 64MB? Secondly I can't get the 5MP resolution by default as
in ov5640_find_nearest_mode, the array ov5640_mode_info_data is hard
coded to 0.

I gave your v2 branch a quick whirl also but it fails to compile.

Thanks for the awesome work so far.

Cheers,
Jack.
