Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra (Panther Lake): SSLC2000 sensor not supported

[svedbox]

Device info

• Laptop: Samsung Galaxy Book6 Ultra (PAMC)
• OS: Ubuntu 26.04 (Resolute Raccoon)
• Kernel: 7.0.0-15-generic

Hardware

• IPU: Intel Panther Lake IPU (PCI 00:05.0, rev 0f)
• Camera sensor: SSLC2000:00 (Samsung)
• IVSC: ivsc_csi / ivsc_ace loaded

Current status

IPU7 modules load successfully:

• intel_ipu7, intel_ipu7_isys, intel_ipu7_psys — loaded
• ipu7-drivers/0~git202602091007 via DKMS — installed
• Firmware ipu7ptl_fw.bin.zst — present

ACPI detects the sensor:
int3472-discrete INT3472:00: Found sensor SSLC2000:00 via SSDB controllogicid=0 fallback

But no kernel driver exists for SSLC2000. /dev/video0-31 are created
but streaming fails with "Link has been severed".

What's missing

A v4l2-subdev driver for the Samsung SSLC2000 camera sensor.

Not working under Fedora 44 also

ℹ️ There appears to be a fairly functional driver available at https://github.com/jabbslad/sc200pc-linux, which is likely compatible with the Ultra version (it seems to be identical to the Pro version).

Thanks! This looks very promising.

If the SSLC2000 implementation from sc200pc-linux can be reused, I'd be happy to test any patches on my Galaxy Book6 Ultra (Panther Lake + IPU7 + IVSC).

I can also provide dmesg, media topology, ACPI dumps, or any additional logs if needed.
