Porting soc-camera with all its drivers and platforms to the v4l2-subdev framework confirmed to be a complicated task. Having prepared the patches in a way to make changes as isolated as possible, they now have to be applied to the mainline in a certain order avoiding any intermittent breakage. After the 2.6.30 kernel has been released earlier this week, two first conversion steps shall be pushed upstream during the 2.6.31 merge window: a preparatory forward-compatibility patch to the soc-camera core, and multiple patches to convert all platforms currently in the mainline to the future platform-binding scheme. The actual incomplete conversion patches will then have to wait until 2.6.32. Then we will be completing the conversion some time in the 2.6.33 timeframe. For details see my
post at the linux-media mailing list.
