[ Upstream commit 35132d039c566b0e9d8e53f76f512b22607c2405 ]
The 3840x2160 mode operates with the imx334 reset values. If we switch to other modes and then return to the 3840x2160 mode, it should function correctly. so updated the mode_3840x2160_regs array with the imx334 reset values.

**YES** This commit should be backported to stable kernel trees. Here's my analysis: ## Backport Analysis ### **This is a Clear Functional Bug Fix** The commit addresses a real functional issue where the IMX334 camera sensor fails to work correctly when switching between camera modes. Specifically: 1. **Root Problem**: The 3840x2160 mode register array was missing critical reset values (registers 0x3074, 0x3075, 0x308e, 0x308f, 0x30d8, 0x30d9) 2. **User Impact**: When users switch from other camera modes (like 1920x1080@30) back to 3840x2160@60, the sensor retains previous register values causing: - Incorrect output resolution - Wrong video format output - Application failures expecting 3840x2160 resolution 3. **Why It Previously "Worked"**: The 3840x2160 mode appeared to work on initial startup because the hardware reset values were correct, but dynamic mode switching exposed the missing register configurations. ### **Low Risk, High Value Fix** **Risk Assessment: MINIMAL** - **Code Changes**: Only adds 6 register value pairs to a static array - no algorithmic changes - **Register Values**: These are official Sony IMX334 reset values, not arbitrary configurations - **Scope**: Self-contained fix within the mode register array - **No Dependencies**: Doesn't modify driver logic or control flow **High User Value**: - Fixes broken functionality for dynamic mode switching - Common use case in camera applications - Prevents incorrect resolution output that breaks user applications ### **Meets All Stable Tree Criteria** ✅ **Fixes important user-facing bug**: Mode switching is fundamental camera functionality ✅ **Small, contained change**: Only 6 register additions to existing array ✅ **Low regression risk**: Adding missing reset values cannot break existing functionality ✅ **Well- understood problem**: Clear cause (missing registers) and solution (add them) ✅ **No architectural changes**: Pure data fix in register configuration ### **Comparison to Similar Commits** This commit follows the same pattern as the provided examples of camera sensor fixes - adding missing register values to ensure correct operation. The difference is that this actually fixes a functional bug (mode switching failure) rather than just adding features or optimizations. **Recommendation**: Backport to all stable kernels that include IMX334 driver support, as this resolves a legitimate functional regression affecting real-world camera applications.
