I support this request. This will bring new webcam support for a lot of Intel-based laptops, including models that are actively advertised with
Linux support and sold with Ubuntu/Fedora preinstalled.
Example:
https://ubuntu.com/certified/202301-31165
The corresponding system is called Intel Image Processing Unit 6
(IPU6). Until now, this requires to build custom kernel modules and
install firmware from third-party sources on Debian:
https://github.com/intel/ipu6-drivers
Since kernel 6.10, kernel modules are available in the tree and
firmware in the Linux firmware distribution.
