Hi Prabhakar,

Thanks for trying this out.
ov5640 works in both parallel or CSI2 mode. Looking at the board, it 
looks a parallel connection but I am not 100%, you tested using parallel 
interface ?

I was using a simple app that reads from /dev/video0, it's called 
fswebcam. I can try more apps if it's needed.

I did not, but without this patch, there is no problem whatsoever, and I 
have been using this sensor since around 4.9 kernel version.

I can try

You seem to be able to capture successfully, I have a feeling that in my 
case the sensor is somehow not powered up when the capture is being 
requested.
Could you share a snippet of your device tree node for the sensor so I 
can have a look ?

Thanks,
Eugen
