Bounty for SDM845 camera support (gitlab.com)

I would like to incentivize timely (1-2 months max.) implementation of pmOS camera-support for SDM845 devices by offering a bounty of 6 XMR (Monero, the digital cash). The intent to win the bounty has to be discussed here beforehand.

If supporting the entire list of devices implies significantly more effort than a subset, the minimum should be OnePlus and Shift. Details from comment:

When one opens a camera application (like millipixels), the screen should show what the camera points at and capturing color photo and video of that content should be possible. It should run in a stable manner (meaning no anticipated crashes) and the required changes should be accepted into the postmarketOS edge branch.

If bounties happen to be against the ethos of the project, let me know.

On the contrary, I hereby invite others to chip in.

Comment if interested.

@fullmetalScience I like the idea of bounties as a user, and can think of a few things I would be willing to chip in on.. But I bet it becomes a nightmare if multiple developers helped towards a goal, and in a way that is always going to be the case. "standing on the shoulders of giants"

There are actually mentions of people having had partial success, but your point makes sense regardless. I updated the description to clarify that interested developers have to express their intent beforehand. This way it should be easier to track who actually made it happen.
