Hi!

Thanks, this answered half of my questions already. ;-)

:-).

I'll have to go through the patches, et8ek8 driver is probably not
enough to get useful video. platform/video-bus-switch.c is needed for
camera switching, then some omap3isp patches to bind flash and
autofocus into the subdevice.

Then, device tree support on n900 can be added.

I briefly discussed with with Sebastian.

Do you think the elusive support for the secondary camera is worth keeping
out the main camera from the DT in mainline? As long as there's a reasonable
way to get it working, I'd just merge that. If someone ever gets the
secondary camera working properly and nicely with the video bus switch,
that's cool, we'll somehow deal with the problem then. But frankly I don't
think it's very useful even if we get there: the quality is really bad.


Yes, lets merge what we have till now, it will be way easier to improve on
it once it is part of the mainline.

BTW, I have (had) patched VBS working almost without problems, when it comes
to it I'll dig it.

I wonder if I'm the only one who wonders what VBS is here. Don't tell me its
the old MS thing. :-) ;-)


Oh, sorry, I thought that V(ideo) B(us) S(witch) is clear in the context :)
