The OVTI08F4 sensor on an HP Spectre x360 14-eu0xxx failed to read its
chip ID with error -121 when the existing 45 ms handshake delay was used.
Increasing the delay to 150 ms allowed the sensor to probe.
Keep the existing delay for other OVTI08F4 systems. Add a reusable
handshake-delay field to the discrete-device quirks and set it only for the
affected HP Spectre family through DMI matching.
Compile-tested against Linux base fd923b32d761. Hardware-tested with the
full patch set across 25 consecutive reboots on the affected laptop running
Ubuntu 7.0.0-29-generic; the sensor probed successfully on every boot.

Thank you for your patch.
There have been more reports about the 45 ms not being enough of a delay,
but IIRC I never got around to bumping the delay because even with
a bigger delay on the laptop in question the probe would still fail
approx. every 1 out of 10 boots and we got stuck on debugging that.
And then I dropped the bal on this, sorry.
See:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2333331
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2333647
Note as mentioned there in some cases 200ms is necessary.
So please instead of adding this quirk, just bump the existing
OVTI08F4 delay from 45 ms to 200 ms as various other HP laptops
also need a bigger delay and 200 ms seems to do the trick everywhere.
Note it would be also good to add Link: tags to the 2 bugzillas
above.
Regards,
Hans

So it looks like the fix is to simply boost the handshake pin default delay to 200 ms instead of having a model / device specific quirk, dropping the existing OVTI08F4 quirk. I'll go and prepare a patch for this and submit it upstream myself. Regards, Hans
