[Impact]

With IVSC switched to in-tree driver since 6.8 kernels in bug 2061747, it's
still suffering from various problems that blocks camera driver stack being
loaded correctly.

The ivsc-ace driver may fail to communicate with the underlying firmware with
error messages:

  ivsc_ace intel_vsc-5db76cf6-0a68-4ed6-9b78-0361635e2447: switch camera to
  host failed: -110

This happens after warm reboots. In addition, ivs may block suspend resume, too.

[Fix]

These symptoms are to be addressed by upstream reviewing patchsets:
* https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240624014223.4171341-1-wentong.wu@intel.com/
* https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240607132547.2820515-1-wentong.wu@intel.com/
* commit 9b5e045029d8 ("mei: vsc: Don't stop/restart mei device during system
  suspend/resume") from v6.10-rc4

[Test Case]

1. test camera after rebooting into a proposed kernel,
2. run suspend/resume stress test plan.
3. verify camera still working

[Where problems could occur]

These fixes are quite limited to ipu6/ivsc platforms, and affected no
power-consumption or other notisible problem.

[Other Info]

While some of the fixes are still under upstream review, meaning they're not
yet available in any kernel release, linux-unstable/oracular/noble and
oem-6.8/6.1x will be nominated for fix.
