Laurent,
I wanted to ask you about your comment here. I would agree that for something like the OV5640 on the imx8mm-evk which is an add-in board via a connector should be a dt overlay. I'm investigating using overlays for features like this on my boards vs creating hierarchical dts files and I see that the kernel allows building fragments with '/plugin/' but I don't see any such overlays in the kernel tree currently. Would overlay/fragments be accepted? Are there any examples in the kernel tree already that I'm missing?
Best regards,
Tim
