Great! It's always interesting to see big changes.
I understand i2c interface not so good and have only general questions.

Many (most?) drivers in v4l tree were converted to use new v4l2-
framework. For example, dsbr100 was converted to v4l2_device
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/77f37ad5dd0c and em28xx was
converted to v4l2_subdev
http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/rev/00525b115901
As i remember, Hans Verkuil said that all v4l drivers should be
converted to new framework. Is it time to switch to this new interface
? Probably, there are a lot of code examples in current tree that can
help..

And second question. About lock/unlock_kernel in open functions.
Please, take a look at
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg04057.html
Well, is it time to do something with this?

Well, my questions about improving functionality, not about mistakes or bugs :)
