Hardware finding from the first r4 run on the phone: the focus-loss
detector compared the settled scene against the maximum sharpness
recorded during the sweep, which was measured under a different AGC
state. On the FP6 that maximum read 4848088 and the same position two
stats frames later read 1995445, so the detector fired immediately and
the lens swept forever. Patch 0014 takes the reference after the lens
settles and requires four consecutive out-of-band frames.
Verified on the phone: r4 re-swept without end, r5 completes one sweep
and stays put.
The DW9784 VCM works and libcamera discovers it through the sensor's
ancillary link, but nothing in the software ISP ever moves it. Backport
the out-of-tree autofocus work onto v0.7.2:
- 0007-0009 are Vasiliy Doylov's focus control, contrast autofocus and
focus-loss detection from the softisp-playground branch;
- 0010 is Pavel Machek's Librem5-tested robustness work (centre-window,
brightness-normalised sharpness, two-phase sweep, settle skip),
squashed and adapted;
- 0011-0013 are ours: the lens write no longer sits inside the
no-frame-start-emitter branch, the lensless-camera paths are guarded,
and AfMode is advertised with a continuous default so that stock
applications get autofocus without sending AfTrigger.
Provenance and the adaptations made to each patch are recorded in the
patch commit messages.
Teaches the software ISP's AGC the IMX896 gain law
(gain = 16384/(16384-code), inverted from the vendor driver and
round-tripped against all 3009 vendor gain-table entries, max error
0.049%) and adds the sensor properties (1.0um unit cell, test-pattern
map). Same shape as the OV13B10 pair; both verified to apply and
compile on v0.7.2 after 0001-0004.
The extracted-CCM tuning yaml is deliberately NOT packaged yet - the
color matrices come from the vendor Chromatix blob and the licensing
call is open (see the camera journal).

Kernel config: CONFIG_VIDEO_OV13B10=m + CONFIG_VIDEO_DW9714=m — the camss
core, CAMCC and CCI were already enabled; the sensor and VCM drivers were
the only missing pieces. The camera carries themselves land via
milos-linux combined-stable (merge of the 'camera' topic branch,
nondescriptpointer's 5 patches, authorship preserved).
libcamera: new temp/ aport overriding pmOS 99990.7.2-r1 with -r2, adding
nondescriptpointer's OV13B10 sensor helper (gain = code/128, enables the
software-ISP AGC/AWB) and sensor properties patches on top of the pmOS
0.7.2 APKBUILD. Patch sha512s re-recorded from the actual files (his
APKBUILD diff carried stale hashes); all four patches verified to apply
against the v0.7.2 tarball.
