That's a sed expression for string substitution. Here you do i2c_master_send()
but dev_dbg() comment says "i2c read error". It's a simple copy-paste typo to fix.

On the caller's side (functions ov5647_open() and ov5647_close()) the second
argument of the function is of 'bool' type, however .s_power callback from
struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops (see include/media/v4l2-subdev.h) defines it as
'int'.

It's just a nitpicking, please feel free to ignore the comment above or
please consider to change the arguments on callers' side to integers.

Also you may consider to add 'ov5647_' prefix to the function name to
distinguish it from a potentially added in future sensor_power() function,
the original name sounds too generic.

Not exactly, here I saw a potential resource leak, namely a potentially left
prepared/enabled clock.

The driver (and framework) shall guarantee that when it is detached from
device(s) (e.g. by unloading "ov5647" kernel module or unbinding ov5647 device),
all acquired resources are released.

But in this particular case most probably I've been overly alert, I believe
that V4L2 framework correcly handles device power states, so please ignore my
comment.

To add something valuable to the review, could you please confirm that
ov5647_subdev_internal_ops data is in use by the driver?

E.g. shouldn't it be registered by

  sd->internal_ops = &ov5647_subdev_internal_ops;

before calling v4l2_async_register_subdev(sd) ?
