This should be fixed in ubuntu-raspi-settings by granting access to
/dev/dma_heap/linux,cma via the uaccess mechanism. After discussion with
the kernel team, this should be reasonably safe.

Title:
root permissions required to r/w to DMA heap for libpisp on RPi5
Status in libcamera package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in ubuntu-raspi-settings package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This affects libcamera on the Raspberry Pi 5. The new libpisp and PiSP driver
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/2089646 and
https://code.launchpad.net/~r41k0u/ubuntu/+source/libcamera/+git/libcamera/+merge/477052)
needs to r/w to /dev/dma_heap/linux,cma
/dev/dma_heap/limux,cma only has r/w permissions for the root user. This
needs to be worked around to make cameras work on RPi5.
