Ups, missed that one. Will fix it in V2. Thanks.

In my (limited) testing I saw no issues that the camera would not come up.
It takes 2 to 3 seconds until the pipeline is running but I noted no hickups.
I did this with setting the resolution to 640x480 and 1920x1080 which
probably would not relate to the LP-11 issue you mention.

I.e. I set up the v4l2 pipeline and start capture to the screen as follows:
```
media-ctl -l "'ov5640 1-003c':0 -> 'imx6-mipi-csi2':0[1]"
media-ctl -l "'imx6-mipi-csi2':2 -> 'ipu1_csi1':0[1]"
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi1':2 -> 'ipu1_csi1 capture':0[1]"
media-ctl -V "'ov5640 1-003c':0 [fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480 field:none]"
media-ctl -V "'imx6-mipi-csi2':2 [fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480 field:none]"
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi1':2 [fmt:AYUV32/640x480 field:none]"
gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device='/dev/video0' ! videoconvert ! waylandsink
```
