Sounds good, let me know if you need more testing.

I also have an imx8mm-evk here with the ov5640 camera so can do some
testing there as well. I'm not clear how to use the imx8mm-evk with
NXP's lf-5.10.y downstream vendor kernel in order to compare as it
uses their proprietary platform capture driver instead of using the
media controller API and I'm not clear how to set that device up for
capture.

However if I test that board using the 5.15 with your series (adjusted
for the ov5640 camera on i2c3 for the imx8mm-evk) I get the same
results as you do also - no interrupts.

Best regards,

Tim
