Following the release a few weeks back of the Intel Media Driver Q1-2020 update for this open-source Linux video encode/decode driver for Intel graphics, their first pre-release of the Q2-2020 driver update is now out for testing...

I know it's not directly linked to media-driver, but is there some work on IPU4?

All webcams using IPU on icelake are unusable on Linux... (like XPS 13 2-in-1 7390).

Unfortunately, all webcams wired via any Intel Atom ISP and any Intel IPU are unusable on Linux, even when there is working driver for sensor.

Has anyone got working hardware decoding with Steam Remote Play with intel-media-driver?
For me it only works with the older lib32-libva-intel-driver...

A quick look at those bugs to me implies the issue is in the device-tree or power-gating setup for the camera itself, not with the IPU driver.

But put me down for looking for an IPU4 driver for my 7390 2-in-1 as well. Surprised at the lack of anything from Intel on this (and wish Dell could have found some generic UVC camera instead).

Well, maybe, but I doubt there is no issues with Intel Atom ISP and any Intel IPU drivers, since nobody every get picture from these drivers, ever. (Besides maybe Intel in-house devboards and ASUS x86 phones with Linux 3.14).
