Install Raspberry Pi Camera Rev 1.3 on openSUSE Leap 42.2

Hi everybody,
I’m try to install my Raspberry Pi Camera Rev 1.3 on openSUSE Leap 42.2.
I’m not able to reach my goal.
NOTE: my USB camera works!

The Pi Camera uses CSI connector, instead of the USB, then i think it could be a problem of that interface.
My fear is that the Pi Camera is not compatible with 64-bit os or is not yet supported by opensuse.
Is there someone that already install and use that camera on Rpi3 with opensuse?
Thanks for all your support.

Best regards,
Marco

Hi Malcom,
