Research direction
Start with the raspinfo file linked in the issue and trace its handling of vcgencmd get_camera and vcgencmd mem_reloc_stats on Raspberry Pi 5. Compare the reported command errors with the expected Pi 5 behavior, then verify that raspinfo completes without these erroneous failures and preserves useful output.

Description
Just to double-check, I downloaded the very latest version and there's still a couple of bits that don't work:
$ Downloads/raspinfo | grep -C3 vc_gencmd
Serial : 1c96860cc48df543
Model : Raspberry Pi 5 Model B Rev 1.0
Throttled flag : throttled=0x0
Camera : vc_gencmd_read_response returned -1 error=1 error_msg="Command not registered"

vc_gencmd_read_response returned -1
error=1 error_msg="Command not registered"
Filesystem information
Looks like the bits that are failing are vcgencmd get_camera and vcgencmd mem_reloc_stats.
