I am in your same situation. The changelog won't help here since the I
have too have lost count of the iterations.

In brief, I would say, the patches have further cleaned up and aligned,
rebased over the latest staging-next branch.
That majorly includes work I did for VC04 in general for de-staging.

I actually was going to send test branch but at the last minute I
screwed up my .git repo because of a failed branch checkout.

I had to recreate the branches over the weekend and here they are:

I have tested these branches:

On RPi-3-b 32-bit:
Git branch:
https://git.uk.ideasonboard.com/uajain/linux/commits/branch/uajain/rpi3/staging-next/isp

On RPi-4-b 64-bit:
Git branch:
https://git.uk.ideasonboard.com/uajain/linux/commits/branch/uajain/rpi4/staging-next/isp

Both these branches have been tested with IMX219 sensor (there is a DT
overlay included) and libcamera. These branches have bcm2835-unicam with
streams support (which is handled by Laurent Pinchart as I believe) and
on top sits bcm2835-isp (this series).
You'll find DT and kernel configs I have tested with, in the respective
branches.

As far as libcamera branch goes (it requires a special branch due to
streams support):
https://git.uk.ideasonboard.com/uajain/libcamera/commits/branch/pinchartl/rpi/streams

Let me know how you get on if you are testing. I am happy to answer/help
if you decide to test this.
