Thanks! This is indeed wrong and I'll fix it. I think it is sufficient to 
apply this patch:

--- cafe_ccic.c.orig	2009-05-02 17:57:08.000000000 +0200
+++ cafe_ccic.c	2009-05-02 17:57:37.000000000 +0200

 	ret = __cafe_cam_reset(cam);
 	if (ret)
 		goto out;
+	chip.ident = V4L2_IDENT_NONE;
 	chip.match.type = V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_I2C_ADDR;
 	chip.match.addr = cam->sensor->addr;
 	ret = __cafe_cam_cmd(cam, VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT, &chip);

Can you confirm this? If it works, then I'll merge this patch and see if I 
can get it into the 2.6.29 stable series.

Regards,
