Hi Sedji,

what hardware is it for? avr32 or at91 (ARM)? And what API are you using 
to communicate with sensors? Currently there are two APIs in the kernel - 
int-device and soc-camera, and they both should at some point (soon) 
converge to the new "V4L2 driver framework." They all have (one of) the 
goal(s) to reuse sensor (or whatever subdevice) drivers with various 
hosts. Which of them are you using?

I've recently got test hardware from Atmel for an AP7000 board (NGW100), 
and was planning to convert the existing external ISI driver from Atmel to 
the soc-camera API, but I have no idea when I find time for that.

As for against which tree to submit patches, I think, 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-2.6.git should 
be a good starting point.

Thanks
Guennadi
