Fix Fedora IPU6 kernel >= 6.5 not working on Dell laptops
There is an issue with the rpmfusion packaged IPU6 camera stack for Fedora is not working on many Dell laptop models after upgrading the kernel to a 6.5.y kernel.
This is caused by a new mainline ov0a10 sensor driver which takes precedence over the akmod ov0a10 driver but lacks VSC integration.
This can be worked around by running the following command:
After the rm + depmod run:
Or reboot. After this your camera will hopefully work again.
I have submitted a pull-request to disable the mainline kernel's non working ov01a10 driver, so after the next Fedora kernel update this workaround should no longer be necessary.
