drivers: video: image sensor list (from Linux, others)

[josuah]

Is your enhancement proposal related to a problem? Please describe.

Zephyr is supporting few image sensors (although the number is growing).

Describe the solution you'd like

Port more drivers.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Export I2C controls over USB, so that Linux drivers can be used directly, Zephyr only acting as a bridge and MIPI <-> UVC adapter.

Additional context

There are now more interest coming towards the Video subsystem started by @loicpoulain and I thought that documenting the sensors porting could be interesting.

None of those can be copied as they are gpl 2 so not sure what the point in this is?

[josuah]

Not only that, but some sensors init here were contributed directly by the manufacturer possibly for inclusion on Android, or unobtainium.

Still, can the Linux source act as documentation even if not importing any code from it?
This also help reviewing the diversity of what exists in Linux to plan APIs in Zephyr.
Zephyr has different APIs so would require the drivers changed either way.

Over time, I intend flagging those that can actually be used with a Zephyr-supported hardware, i.e. finding modules, adapters, devboards with MIPI/DMCI flex cables...
