Funny after re-reading that bug I see you are one of the reporters
of it, again sorry for dropping the ball on this.

And this is more or less the same thing, but here the sensor is
a hi556. 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.
