Sony α7R VI Camera (ILCE-7RM6) Support in Darktable

[VinayHS]

Hi Darktable team,

Congratulations on the release of new version, Darktable 5.6. Looking forward to explore the new AI features soon.
Being a hobbyist bird and wildlife photographer, Darktable is my go to system for post processing and have been enjoying the results with my Canon raw formats over the last few years. Thanks for your great passion and dedication in making Darktable.

I just switched over to Sony α7R VI Camera (ILCE-7RM6) and would like to continue using Darktable for my workflow. Hence request you to support the camera and its raw formats in Darktable.
I have uploaded the following sample files at https://raw.pixls.us/ and chosen to release them under CC0 as required.
At the time of creating this request, I am still not able to see the uploaded files at https://raw.pixls.us/data/SONY/. I presume, it will reflect there after some review/PR merge and you would have access already.

Sample raw files of all types supported with ARW6.0 in the camera in both full-frame and APSC formats:
ARW6-CompHQ-APSC-SAA00353.ARW
ARW6-CompHQ-APSC-SAA00360.ARW
ARW6-CompHQ-SAA00350.ARW
ARW6-CompHQ-SAA00359.ARW
ARW6-Compressed-APSC-SAA00354.ARW
ARW6-Compressed-APSC-SAA00362.ARW
ARW6-Compressed-SAA00351.ARW
ARW6-Compressed-SAA00361.ARW
ARW6-Lossless-APSC-SAA00352.ARW
ARW6-Lossless-APSC-SAA00358.ARW
ARW6-Lossless-SAA00349.ARW
ARW6-Lossless-SAA00357.ARW

Happy to support in your efforts in terms of early testing and feedback etc. Let me know.

Best Regards,
Vinay

@LebedevRI any feedback on the uploaded sample photos?

Adding @kmilos to the thread due to his engagement in similar Sony camera support request in past.

There also seems to be a second / duplicate request to support this camera in last days.
