ACE is a submodule of IVSC which controls camera sensor's ownership, belonging to host or IVSC. When IVSC owns camera sensor, it is for algorithm computing. When host wants to control camera sensor, ACE module needs to be informed of ownership with defined interface. The interface is via MEI. There is a separate MEI UUID, which this driver uses to enumerate. To switch ownership of camera sensor between IVSC and host, the caller specifies the defined ownership information which will be sent to firmware by sending MEI command. Device link(device_link_add) is used to set the right camera sensor ownership before accessing the sensor via I2C. With DL_FLAG_PM_RUNTIME and DL_FLAG_RPM_ACTIVE, the supplier device will be PM runtime resumed before the consumer(camera sensor). So use runtime PM callbacks to transfer the ownership between host and IVSC.

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.
