I linked to the IMX258 datasheet in the same thread[2], and that
datasheet does not include such a signal on the imx258 sensor itself.

If your module has a powerdown gpio, then you'll have to ask the
module vendor what it is actually connected to. Potentially it relates
to the VCM driver rather than the sensor.
