[Bug 2138706] [NEW] OV02C10 camera unusable on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x (hangs and color artifacts)

[Saikiran]

Public bug reported:

This patch set addresses three critical issues with the OV02C10 camera
sensor on the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x (Snapdragon X Elite), making the
camera fully functional and stable.

1. System Hang & I2C Timeout Fix (Critical) Issue: The system would hang
or crash with a kernel oops during camera usage, or fail to initialize
with "master 1 queue 0 timeout" errors. Cause: A race condition in
ov02c10_remove() where resources were freed before powering off, causing
use-after-free errors when interacting with PipeWire/WirePlumber.
Additionally, internal sensor reset timings were too aggressive. Fix:
Reordered cleanup sequence to disable Runtime PM before freeing
resources and relaxed reset timings (5ms assert, 20ms post-delay) to
ensure reliable boot.

2. Color Pattern Fix Issue: Images had a severe green/incorrect color
tint that could not be corrected by simple white balance. Cause: The
driver was reporting SBGGR10 (or SGBRG10), but the actual physical
sensor layout on this device is SGRBG10. Fix: Updated ov02c10.c to
report MEDIA_BUS_FMT_SGRBG10_1X10.

Impact: With these patches applied, the camera is stable across repeated
sessions, oriented correctly, and produces sharp images (userspace
tuning is still required for perfect color balance, but the raw format
is now physically correct).
