Murali, yes, our aim is to make sensor drivers universally usable, using the v4l2-subdev API. But ATM sensor drivers, written and tested to work with soc-camera hosts, cannot be absolutely soc-camera free. Although, we can (and shall) try to make them at least partially usable outside of the soc-camera framework, as I have done with the mt9t031 driver. ATM this driver would refuse to work with a non soc-camera host, or even misfunction, if that host driver is using i2c client platform data for something else. Yes, we'll fix this, but don't expect it to become absolutely soc-camera free for now.
