I'd like to give a few more days to Michael Schimek to ack on this. Since we are in a period of the year where lots of people gets vacation, it is better to give Michael some more time on this. > BTW, I'm working on improving the qv4l2 tool to make it much more useful for > testing.

I was planning to do it later, but, since you're already working with qv4l2, maybe you can add this feature on it as well. The drawback is that it requires libsysfs-devel in order to compile. Maybe this can be an optional feature. > I've also bought a bunch of old hardware from ebay. I should be able to test > various old v4l1 drivers and convert them to v4l2.

Hopefully, this week, I'll have all pending patches (there that aren't being reviewed by somebody else) updated.
