intel_ipu6 fails to load with "CSE boot_load failed" about ipu6-drivers

[lsuchocki]

Turns out I was indeed missing the IPU bootloader firmware within the motherboard's firmware flash.
After using Intel's Flash Image Tool (FIT) to add the "ipu6se_bootloader.bin" file (found in the "chrome_jsl_release" branch of ipu6-camera-bins repo) to the "IUnit Sub-Partition" of the flash image, the driver was able to successfully be loaded and authenticate the main firmware.

@lsuchocki were you able to get the camera working?

[lsuchocki]

@junocomp Somewhat. I was finally receiving data from the sensor/IPU that looked like it could have been an image (displayed pixels changed when you wave in front of the sensor), but was pulled off the project before I had a chance to convert it to something that looks "nice" on the screen. Either way, it was a milestone considering the lack of implementation documentation and Intel refusing to support us with Linux not being on the embedded roadmap for this CPU/image processor combo.

@lsuchocki mmm... anyway you can share how you got that far?

[lsuchocki]

Sure, but this might not be the best place to do that; I've sent you a message via your company's 'Contact Us' form on your website. (I think.)

@lsuchocki I replied to your email. Did you get it?
