Sergio, Sakari,

I'm feeling quite uncomfortable about this series with regards to the use of 
the v4l2-int API instead of v4l2_subdev. I know that it is on the TODO 
list, but every driver that is merged that uses v4l2-int will later mean 
extra work.

I and others have been working very hard to get the existing ioctl-based i2c 
modules converted in time for the 2.6.30 merge window. It looks like I'll 
be able to have it done in time (fingers crossed :-) ). So it is rather sad 
to see new modules that do not yet use it.

Right now the v4l2_device and v4l2_subdev framework is pretty basic and so 
the amount of work to do the conversion is still limited, but once I've 
finished my initial conversion I'll be adding lots more features, do 
cleanups, and generally improve the framework substantially. Any existing 
modules that use v4l2_device and v4l2_subdev will be updated by me. But I'm 
not going to do that for modules using v4l2-int, that will be the 
responsibility of the module's author when he converts it to v4l2_subdev. 
So the longer you wait, the more work that will be.

I *strongly* recommend that the conversion to the new framework is done 
first. I know it might delay inclusion of some drivers, but my expectation 
based on all the other conversions I've done until now is that it will 
actually simplify the drivers.

My experiences with it have been uniformly positive and it should be 
possible to use it as well with the ISP module or other logical 
sub-devices. There are lots of interesting possibilities there that you do 
not have with v4l2-int.

Best regards,

	Hans
