So I guess the most likely answer to the question of where the B40 reference design came from then, is by someone within the industry close to or within either Novatek or Aptina, and as a way to sell more of those chips and sensors! (follow the money!)
not at all, they make the design and it's up to the potential buyer as to which direction it might go, often they are made to suit multiple hardware versions
