How to add & build existing driver from imx source tree to kernel?

[autoamp]

Hello,

We are planning to interface RPi 5MP camera with our custom iMX8M-Mini board.

Now RPi camera has OV5647 sensor, for which drivers are already available on iMX-own kernal source tree.

We are using yocto-project to build and configure images. Is there any step-by-step guide available that we can follow so we can integrate this driver in kernel-module?

Editing kernel .config worked for me.

to be more specific, inside your yocto build dir run.

bitbake linux-imx -c menuconfig
