The ov5675 specification says that the gap between XSHUTDN deassert and the

Right now we use a usleep_rage() that gives a sleep time of between about
430 and 860 microseconds.
On the Lenovo X13s we have observed that in about 1/20 cases the current
timing is too tight and we start transacting before the ov5675's reset
cycle completes, leading to I2C bus transaction failures.
The reset racing is sometimes triggered at initial chip probe but, more
usually on a subsequent power-off/power-on cycle e.g.
[ 71.451662] ov5675 24-0010: failed to write reg 0x0103. error = -5
[ 71.451686] ov5675 24-0010: failed to set plls
The current quiescence period we have is too tight, doubling the minimum
appears to fix the issue observed on X13s.

Would it make sense to have power_off have the same logic? We do a
usleep_range of those same values currently, so keeping them in sync
seems to make sense to me.
Also, I'm wondering if it isn't an issue with the gpio not being high
right after gpoiod_set_value_cansleep() returns, i.e. the time it
actually takes for the HW to reach the IO level that means "high" for
the camera. And that this increased sleep is just a way to mitigate that?
With this patch we essentially postpone the power_on by another 430ms
making it almost a full second before we can start using the camera.
That's quite a lot I think? We don't have a usecase right now that
requires this to be blazing fast (and we anyway would need at the very
least 430ms), so take this remark as what it is, a remark.
The change looks fine to me even though it feels like a band-aid patch.
Cheers,
Quentin
