Yes. see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/736177/

>From a DT perspective, I'm not asking that you share the subdevice 
driver, only the binding. Simply put, there's 1 h/w block here, so there 
should only be 1 binding. The binding is an ABI, so you can't just merge 
it and change it later.

The driver side is a decision for the V4L2 maintainers.

Then maybe you should figure out how to split up the series. I've not 
looked at it to provide suggestions.
