The CI code is out there in it itself commented out, but is a bit
unstable. I haven't
spent too much time on it these last 2 months, due to lack of time

The issue with the I2C errors have been fixed in the
jusst.de/hg/mantis-v4l tree.
It had been a bit hard to fix, but i am almost certain, that issue is
gone for good.

There were quite a lot of fixes to the stb0899 module, so maybe some of the
issues what you looked at might've been fixed.
