I'll already propose one entry: - Add support in libcamera This isn't required to merge the driver in staging as long as ABI compatibility doesn't need to be preserved until the driver is moved out of staging. > 14 files changed, 3109 insertions(+) > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/Kconfig > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/Makefile > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/sun6i_isp.c > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/sun6i_isp.h > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/sun6i_isp_capture.c > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/sun6i_isp_capture.h > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/sun6i_isp_params.c > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/sun6i_isp_params.h > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/sun6i_isp_proc.c > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/sun6i_isp_proc.h > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/sun6i_isp_reg.h > create mode 100644 drivers/staging/media/sunxi/sun6i-isp/uapi/sun6i-isp-config.h [snip] -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
