Some Meteor Lake (confirmed) and Lunar Lake (?) laptop models use a new camera "glue" chip from Intel replacing the LJCA IO-expander and the VSC vision chips.
In order for IPU6/IPU7 based cameras to be able to work on these laptops support for these glue chips needs to be added to the kernel.
Examples of laptop models with this chip are the Dell Latitude 7450 and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 12.
Out if tree drivers for this chip are available here:
https://github.com/intel/usbio-drivers/
These drivers need work before they can be submitted upstream, see e.g. :
https://github.com/intel/usbio-drivers/issues/6
Reproducible: Always
