DMA isn't really a requirement for v4l2. Usual rule of thumb that if no one else thinks it's in their scope and it measures something it goes in IIO :) So real question is do the v4l2 people think it should be in there? My gut feeling is yes. These things are only going to get bigger as the technology moves on so will become more and more camera like. It's possible we'll ultimately end up bridging one way or the other between IIO and v4l2 but only once we have a clean use case for it and I'm not convinced this is one yet... Though maybe it is if exporting the average of pixels is actually how these devices are typically used...
