Thank you everyone for your help.  I pulled the linux-media master and
built it, and it works perfectly from what I can tell. I'll go through
the patch list and see what's back-port-able to 4.19.  I noticed that
just copying the ov5640.c driver breaks the build on 4.19.0, so I'm
going to focus on just patches labeled 'fix' on both the ov5640 for
now.

I appreciate everyone's help, and Iearned a lot about the v4l system
in the process.
