Bug Description

I upgraded from 6.14 to 6.17 hwe kernel and found my camera unable to run.

I came across this issue in journalctl:

```
intel-ipu6-isys intel-ipu6-isys0: can't get link frequency (-2)
```

I then manually applied the fix here: https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers/pull/425

This allowed the camera to work again.

[Impact]
intel-ipu6-dkms fails to build against kernels >= 6.12 (no_llseek removal, asm/unaligned, macro changes, follow_pte)
and camera streaming fails on kernels >= 6.15 (IVSC link frequency API change).
This affects all Ubuntu 24.04 users with Intel IPU6 cameras on HWE or OEM kernels.
[Test Plan]
1. Install the updated package on Ubuntu 24.04 with kernel 6.17
2. Verify: dkms status | grep ipu6 shows "installed"
3. Verify: v4l2-ctl -d /dev/video0 --stream-mmap --stream-count=5 streams frames
4. Verify: Camera works in Firefox/Cheese
[Where problems could occur]
Regression on older kernels (6.8) - mitigated by version guards
[Other Info]
PPA with fix: ppa:tewaro/ipu6-drivers
Tested on Dell Precision 5680 with OV02C10 sensor, kernel 6.17.0-1011-oem, kernel 6.8.0-101-generic
