As I detailed in my initial post, I have already successfully applied that exact solution. The USB firmware update from that link is what allowed the kernel to detect the sensor, as shown by the dmesg | grep veye output I included.
The current state is:
-The USB firmware update is applied.
-The kernel probe is successful for the connected camera at 9-003b.
-The sensor is correctly identified as IMX462.
-The problem persists: No /dev/video0 device node is created.
