Sorry about that, I refrained from squashing 4 & 11 for 2 reasons:

1. On patch 4 I did not make significant changes since previous version
(just enough to keep it compiling) I hoped it will be easier to review
like this, tried to explain in cover letter.

2. After using the jpeg helpers, the mxc_jpeg_parse() is somewhere
between 2-8% slower, depending on the measuring method, so I was
thinking it would be nice to have the previous method in the history,
as a reference. Now, I have done more measurements on the overall
impact, an it is insignificant, ~0.01% for a streaming case (1 1080p
RGB24 buffer enqueued 1000 times).

I can definitely  squash patch 7 into 4, together with other changes
from this version review. I'm waiting for more opinions about squashing
11 into 4.

Removed, my bad, that info was added in cover letter.

I replaced jpeg_tracing module parameter with debug module parameter in
the next version, so, it will be shared with what v4l2_dbg is using.

Done, for the next version.

Removed fourcc_to_str(), used %c%c%c%c instead, the amount of lines of
code is similar, so, it's ok, no loss.

Done, it will be in the next version.

This is handled differently now in the upstream jpeg helpers
(v4l2_jpeg_parse_header() and jpeg_next_marker()).
However, in the above, there is a problem, the end of the stream is not
detected properly. I'll modify get_byte to return int, not u8, because
-1 is for the end of stream, and 0xFF is
for markers (in u8 representation both were 0xFF). This passed
undetected because, for a valid jpeg the parsing was done only up to
SOS. So, a problematic case would be a corrupted jpeg, with SOI, but
without SOS. I'll try to add some corrupted jpegs in my testsuite.

Thanks,
Mirela
