Vincent Ambo 3633d846f8 chore(3p/sources): bump channels & overlays (2024-03-17)
In hope that iwlwifi works again on this commit, and I don't actually
have to debug it.

Includes following changes:

* users/aspen: home-manager is shuffling around pinentry options again
* users/flokli: rebase ipu6-softisp patches to Linux 6.8
                make cl/11097 a separate patch
* ops/modules: remove unused (and now broken) v4l2loopback module

ipu6-softisp

This code adds support for the ipu6 webcams via libcamera, based on the work in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jwrdegoede/ipu6-softisp/.

It's supposed to be included in your NixOS configuration imports, and will:

  • Add some patches to your kernel, which should apply on 6.8.x
  • Add the ipu6-camera-bins firmware (still needed)
  • Enable some kernel config options
  • Add an udev rule so libcamera can do DMABUF things
  • Override services.pipewire.package and services.pipewire.wireplumber.package to use a pipewire built with a libcamera with support for this webcam.

Please make sure you don't have any of the hardware.ipu6 options still enabled, as they use the closed-source userspace stack and will conflict.

Also make sure to track nixos-unstable for this. This code will get periodically updated to be compatible with nixos-unstable!

The testing instructions from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/jwrdegoede/ipu6-softisp/ still apply.

qcam can be found in libcamera-qcam (pending on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/284964 to trickle into master).

Thanks to Hans de Goede for helping me bringing this up, as well as to puckipedia for sorting out some pipewire-related confusion.
