Wouldn't it be clearer to say

#define OV5_LPAR	(OV5_INDX(0x2) | OV5_FEAT(0x80))

etc?

"extern", please (if nothing else, for consistency).

Why make this array FIRMWARE_MAX_FEATURES (63) long?  You could just
restrict the for loop below to ARRAY_SIZE(vec5_fw_features_table).

And this test could go away.

I realise that you have just copied the existing code, but you should not
do that blindly.  Maybe you could even add an (earlier) patch that fixes
the existing code.
