Thanks again for picking up or work and trying to get it upstream.

I have tried and had to fix some issues first:
* gpio properties have a different name than in our approach (but that is something maintainers have to decide and is easy to follow this or that way)
* there is no clock-frequency property which makes the driver request a clock frequency (something our camera interface expects this way)
* there is no vana-supply regulator and we need that to power on/off the camera on demand (reset and pwdn isn't enough in our hardware)
* for some unknown reason the driver does not load automatically from DT compatibility string and needs to be explicitly modprobed
* unfortunately we still get no image :(

The latter is likely a setup issue of our camera interface (OMAP3 ISP = Image Signal Processor) which
we were not yet able to solve. Oscilloscoping signals on the interface indicated that signals and
sync are correct. But we do not know since mplayer only shows a green screen.

Therefore we had not submitted anything upstream ourselves, because our driver setup
isn't finished and completely working.

I have written some more specific comments linked to proposals for patches as answer to your [PATCH v1 1/6]

BR and thanks,
