Camera doesn't start on arm64 - crash in AalServicePlugin::devices(QByteArray const&)

[Michał Sawicz]

Camera crashes on startup on arm64

It's possible the reason is the lack of media-hub (bug #1618416), but camera should probably not die because of that.

$ system-image-cli -i
current build number: 23
device name: frieza_arm64
channel: ubuntu-touch/staging/ubuntu
last update: 2016-08-30 09:13:12
version version: 23
version ubuntu: 20160830
version device: 20160824.0
version custom: 20160830

Steps:
* flash the above channel (remember --device frieza_arm64)
* launch camera
