The "rotation" fwnode device property is intended to allow specify the sensor's physical mounting rotation, so that it can be exposed through the read-only V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION control and applications can decide how to compensate for that. The imx258 driver has read-only VFLIP and HFLIP enabled, resulting in a 180 degrees image rotation being produced by the sensor. But this doesn't imply that the physical mounting rotation should match the driver's implementation. Now that the driver registers V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION and V4L2_CID_HFLIP/VFLIP correctly, userspace has all the required information to handle the rotation correctly, hence it is not necessary to require the 'rotation' property to be fixed to 180 degrees in DTS.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
