Privacy LED may not be turned on on OEM Renegade platform with Intel IPU7 camera

[You-Sheng Yang]

[SRU Justification]

[ Impact ]

With CVS firmware >= version 132.39.66.9(0x84.0x27.0x42.0x9), SET_HOST_IDENTIFIER was added. One of the field was not initialized correctly, and it leads to the inability to turn off the privacy LED.

Proposed fix merged as upstream commit https://github.com/intel/vision-drivers/commit/fc4981411e140674b016a3d7dc062434848f5311.

[ Test Plan ]

While different platforms may have different versions of CVS firmware, it's only known reproducible on a few still in-development OEM platforms. To verify:
0. verify CVS firmware version:
   ```
   $ cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-INTC*
   $ echo version | sudo tee cmd
   $ cat coredump
   ...
   CVS Firmware Ver: 132.39.66.9 (0x84.0x27.0x42.0x9)
   ...
   ```

1. install linux-oem-6.11 >= 6.11.0-1019,

2. install intel-vision-dkms from -proposed pocket,

3. reboot to the same linux-oem-6.11 kernel, and browse to https://webcamtests.com to activate camera use. The privacy LED should be turned on while using, and off while camera stopped or browser terminated.

4. also covered platforms of previous generations with older CVS fw version:
* Bolan14-DVT2-C3-202410-35910, cvs fw 132.24.50.50 (0x84, 0x18, 0x32, 0x32).
* TRBL-DVT2-C1-202407-34214, cvs fw 1.19.0.0 (0x1, 0x13, 0x0, 0x0).
* TRK4-DVT2-C4-202411-35941, cvs fw 132.24.50.50 (0x84, 0x18, 0x32, 0x32).

[ Where problems could occur ]

No. This is a field in the command data of a SET_HOST_IDENTIFIER command that is always sent in the vision-drivers >= 0~git202412180414.6b1462d8. When a order CVS fw receives such command, it replies a command error and does nothing. For a latter CVS fw, this field affects the privacy LED governing and should be fixed.

[ Other Info ]

The target kernel is linux-oem-6.11, and we're currently compiling visions-drivers/plucky into it. Nominate for Plucky and Questing.

For Oracular, won't fix per offline discussion with @anthonywong.

========== original bug report ==========

[Expects]

1. Launch camera apps like https://webcamtests.com in Firefox/Chrome
2. The privacy LED should be turned on

[Actual]

Privacy LED off all the time.

Attach proposed debdiff for Plucky and Questing. Also pushed to PPA

verification.

Need sponsor.

Had a quick look at this during a patch-pilot shift -- the patch is simple enough, and the test plan looks reasonable, but it only covers the system *after* the proposed version is installed. Ideally, the test plan should re-produce the bug (with the released version of vision-drivers), have the user install the proposed version and re-test to show that this change (and only this change) fixes the issue (as opposed to anything random in the background like other upgrades).

In other words, the test plan is *almost* complete but could do with one additional step at the top, for example, to visit https://webcamtests.com and show that the privacy LED does not light.

The section on where problems could occur needs more detail: it mentions that an error is reported in dmesg. Does that apply to the affect platforms only, or to other platforms? The mere fact an error is reported in dmesg may cause other issues in itself. Furthermore, just because this is fixing an initialization value only, does not make it any less likely that the fix may have knock-on effects. The SRU team are rather likely to pick up on this section as not having enough detail currently.

[You-Sheng Yang (vicamo)]

@waveform, actually we tested released platforms on following platforms:
* Bolan14-DVT2-C3-202410-35910, cvs fw 132.24.50.50 (0x84, 0x18, 0x32, 0x32).
* TRBL-DVT2-C1-202407-34214, cvs fw 1.19.0.0 (0x1, 0x13, 0x0, 0x0).
* TRK4-DVT2-C4-202411-35941, cvs fw 132.24.50.50 (0x84, 0x18, 0x32, 0x32).

These information was replied on JIRA. The test plan was intended for reproduce/verification step, and existing platforms were covered as well.

Updated the two sections in SRU justification to clarify concerns from comments #19.

[Ubuntu Kernel Bot (ubuntu-kernel-bot)]

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-oem-6.11/6.11.0-1023.23 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-oem-6.11' to 'verification-done-noble-linux-oem-6.11'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-noble-linux-oem-6.11' to 'verification-failed-noble-linux-oem-6.11'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
