The camera fails to initialize.
Auto-reload is on. Simply save files over USB to run them or enter REPL to disable.

Description
I am using the very same code I have found in #9233 @gitcnd added to the PR as an example of the camera working but it doesn't work for me.
I can exclude this is an hardware issue because using the Arduino example from Feenove I am able to see images from the camera in the web UI.
