[MIR][needs-packaging] gst-plugins-icamera

[Shih-Yuan Lee]

[Background]

Intel MIPI camera userspace stack

https://github.com/intel/ipu6-camera-hal - HAL for processing of images in userspace (LP: #2043173)
https://github.com/intel/ipu6-camera-bins - IPU firmware and proprietary image processing libraries (LP: #1958108)
https://github.com/intel/icamerasrc (branch:icamerasrc_slim_api) - Gstreamer src plugin (LP: #2043174)

[Impact]

 Without these packages, we can not enable the Intel MIPI camera.

[Testing]

 Install these packages and exeute `sudo gst-launch-1.0 icamerasrc ! autovideosink` on the corresponding PCs.

[Regression Potential]

 The linux kernel/firmware updates/upgrades may probably break the Intel MIPI camera functionality.

[Availability]

 You can find all packages on https://launchpad.net/~oem-solutions-group/+archive/ubuntu/intel-ipu6.

[Rationale]

 We want to improve the hardware support for some Dell/HP/Lenovo laptops.

[Security]

 No CVE/known security issue.

[Quality assurance]

 We have used these packages to enable Intel MIPI camera on some Dell laptops and some of them will be cerified by Ubuntu certification soon.

[Dependencies]

 It depends on the BIOS, hardware and Linux kernel that contains ipu6 drivers.

[Standards compliance]
