[SOLVED] Dell latitude 5290 camera support

I am trying to get the integrated cameras working on a Dell Latitude 5290 2-in-1 (kernel 7.2.4).

Looking at dmesg the camera sensor fails to power up because the kernel module lacks the board data lookup table:

[    3.959837] int3472-tps68470 i2c-INT3472:05: TPS68470 REVID: 0x21
[    3.961187] int3472-tps68470 i2c-INT3472:05: error -ENODEV: No board-data found for this model
[    3.969148] ipu3-cio2 0000:00:14.3: Found supported sensor INT3479:00
[    3.969498] ipu3-cio2 0000:00:14.3: Connected 1 cameras

DMI Information:

sys_vendor: Dell Inc.
product_name: Latitude 5290 2-in-1

While I have been using arch for quite a while, I am still not fully confident in my knowledge/ability, so if I missed something please ask for more details.

If a patch is made/already exists I can test it.

Thanks.

Adjusted patch for 7.2.4:

Re: [SOLVED] Dell latitude 5290 camera support

The patch in the provided repo works, though only for the front camera.

After a bit of searching I have also found another fix, but I would like to avoid recompiling the kernel if I can. I will post the link here in case someone else encounters this problem and wouldn't be against it.

Try and get the patch accepted upstream so you can avoid the recompile?

https://github.com/vitovt/dell-5290-camera-kernel

Does this repo contain patches for both cameras or one camera and another fix?
