I sent an e-mail to stable with a list of a variety of patches for the
ov5640 to be applied to 4.19.y  So far all looks pretty good, but I
think I found on minor bug:

If I attempt to change just the resolution, it doesn't take.

Initial read
media-ctl --get-v4l2 "'ov5640 2-0010':0"
[fmt:UYVY8_2X8/640x480 at 1/30 field:none colorspace:srgb xfer:srgb
ycbcr:601 quantization:full-range]

Change resolution
# media-ctl --set-v4l2 "'ov5640 2-0010':0[fmt:UYVY2X8/720x480 field:none]"

Read it back
# media-ctl --get-v4l2 "'ov5640 2-0010':0"
[fmt:UYVY8_2X8/640x480 at 1/30 field:none colorspace:srgb xfer:srgb
ycbcr:601 quantization:full-range]

However, if I change the resolution AND the format to something other
than UYVY2x8, the resolution changes. I can then change the format
back to UYVY and capture and stream video at 1080p and 720x480.
I can work around this, but I thought I'd mention it.  I was trying to
figure out a patch to apply to the mailing list myself, but I wasn't
able to fix it quickly.
