It seems that Frieder on Cc managed to get camera capture to work on
i.MX8MM here:
https://git.kontron-electronics.de/sw/misc/linux/-/commits/v5.10-mx8mm-csi

Hopefully, this can help to figure out what is missing in mainline to
get camera capture to work on i.MX8M.

I don't have access to an OV5640 camera to connect to the imx8mm-evk
board to try your series.

Fabio Estevam
