Armbian 5.25 on OrangePI PC: The gc2035 video camera doesn't work

[chucklz]

Last time I investigated, csi is present in mainline, but does not support vfe_v4l2, which the existing gc2035 code relies on.  It is no small task to reverse engineer the driver code, so as to migrate it. The hardware datasheets provide the means, but the effort is enormous compared to replacing the gc2035 with ov56xx hardware, which is fully supported in mainline and legacy.  The driver code is probably something xunlong need to provide, but don't hold your breath.

Thank you. Well, if I have to replace the gc2035 with an ov56xx I could as well replace it with an usb webcam. For the time being I'll keep using the legacy kernel.
