In linux kernel since version 4.19.318 (release Date: 2024-07-18)
Say Y here to enable support for the BCM283x/BCM271x CSI-2 receiver.
This is a V4L2 driver that controls the CSI-2 receiver directly,
independently from the VC4 firmware.
This driver is mutually exclusive with the use of bcm2835-camera. The
firmware will disable all access to the peripheral from within the
firmware if it finds a DT node using it, and bcm2835-camera will
therefore fail to probe.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module will be
called bcm2835-unicam.
