Fyi.. I got the below feedback from OmniVision FAE.

SW standby bit is working as expected from my side.


As far as the sensor initialization is concerned  we use HW power up
sequence defined in the datasheet followed by SW initialization.

SW initialization consist of the following :-

78 3103  11    ;  I2C timing ( do not modify)
78 3008  82  ;   SW reset
78 3008  42  ;   Stop streaming
78 …….            Sensor settings for required mode

78 3008  02  ;   Start  streaming

Note:-  0x3008[7]  SW reset bit is volatile, as soon as a reset is
applied the  all the bits  are  cleared  and  0x3008[7:0] set to
default value hence  should read  0x2
