Two things:

1) Does this work?  I wouldn't expect it's enough to make everything 
work 100%.

2) AFAICT the Flow Z13 has a USB camera for the front camera, but the 
rear camera is the one that uses the ISP4.

So I'm confused by the commit message saying that the front facing 
camera needs it.  Is that a mistake?

I think it's going to be a bit more than just an ACPI ID the ISP4 driver 
though to enable it however.  amdgpu has a list of sensors that it 
supports (you can see isp_v4_1_1.c for details).  This currently only 
will recognize and configure the GPIOs for ACPI _HID OMNI5C10.

For ACPI _HID OMNI13B1 a new entry would be needed there along with the 
correct GPIO tables that match.  This will wire up the pinctrl-amdisp 
driver to have the right GPIOs.

Bin and Pratap can comment more on the feasibility.  But for now I think 
we should treat this as TODO for after the initial series lands with 
support for the sensor in the HP ZBook Ultra G1a.
