Webcams not working on Lenovo Yoga Duet 7 (13ITL6)

At work, I got a new Lenovo Duet 7 and installed Arch on it.
Everything seems to be working fine, except the webcams. Neither the front camera nor the back camera one appear to be detected.
No relevant entries are in neither lsusb or hw-probe.

Does anyone know how to debug this issue? Are there some alternative drivers?
I will appreciate any help.

The older model seems to be working well (according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo … 7_13IML05).

Is 'hwinfo --camera' display something? You can also check in commands:

lsmod
lspci -nnk
sudo dmidecode | less
sudo journalctl -b
sudo journalctl -b -g camera
sudo journalctl -b -g webcam

Unfortunately, nothing came out from any of these.

Reinstalling windows, I found out that the front camera is OV5678 and the rear is GC5035.
For the former, there is an issue in the Intel IPU6 repo: https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers/issues/24
