Yes,

But I prefer the powerdown gpio model, because we have to follow the commands
sequences as below which is required by firmware, runtime pm is hard to achieve this.
+	/* switch camera sensor ownership to host */
+	ret = ace_set_camera_owner(ACE_CAMERA_HOST);
+	if (ret)
+		goto error;
+
+	/* switch CSI-2 link to host */
+	ret = csi_set_link_owner(CSI_LINK_HOST, callback, context);
+	if (ret)
+		goto release_camera;
+
+	/* configure CSI-2 link */
+	ret = csi_set_link_cfg(nr_of_lanes, link_freq);
+	if (ret)
+		goto release_csi;
