Thanks for suggestion, good question.
I see also ov5693 driver use bulk_enable/bulk_disable
on ov5693_sensor_powerdown and ov5693_sensor_powerup functions, I take
this as reference (and I'm wrong)

In a functional test on PX30_Mini_evb_v11_20190507, after this series 
I'm able to see the correct chip id during probe and do some capture.

I think you are right Jacopo, we can drop off this [PATCH 1/4]
On the following link I found the issue that you describe: [1]

Thanks for sharing! This is new to me.
I'll update the series on v2 removing this patch.
