The newer, 4.7.x Kernel has an updated device tree that adds ISP support and the necessary pin muxing for a 8-bit camera. It hasn't been well tested by me, and I know that the Open Source community was making changes to the ISP driver during that same time so there may have been stuff that was added after I did the device tree for the camera. If you need something higher than 8-bit, you should be able to modify the device tree.

I used a Leopard Imaging sensor and the device loaded and the camera was detected, but I didn't spend a lot of time to fully test it.

Give the 4.7 Kernel a try: https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-4.7.3.tar.xz

It's not a long term support Kernel, so we didn't choose to go with that for our beta, but the 4.9 kernel will be, and I'm hoping to get a beta release based on that kernel at some point in the future after it's released by the open source community.

I looked through the source code and it appears as if the open source community only has OV7640 and OV7670 drivers in the tree. You might be able to modify the driver for the 7690, but I am not certain. The Beta kernel is purely a snapshot of the 4.4.y stable kernel from the open source community without custom patches.

The device tree is setup for a mt9p031 compatible camera, but I would expect that to be adaptable to use the OV76xx cameras, but I am not certain if/how the OV76x0 cameras work with this beta.

We do offer design and engineer services. If you like, I can have one of our account managers contact you to discuss a services contract.
