I'd like to see this patchset to remove that last remaining SoC > camera bridge driver. :-) Well, we agreed that for most of those platforms, compile testing it would be enough (let's believe in "if it compiles, it works"). I personally don't have access to those boards, and frankly I'm not even sure there are many of them around these days (I guess most of them are not even produced anymore). > > > > > Also, there's not that much code from the old driver in here, surely > > less than the default 50% -C and -M options of 'git format-patch' use > > as a threshold for detecting copies iirc.. > > Oh, if that's so, then makes sense to review it as a new driver. thanks :) > > > > > > The same goes for the two V4L2 SoC camera sensor / video decoder drivers at > > > the end of the set. > > > > > > > Also in this case I prefer not to remove existing code, as long as > > there are platforms using it.. > > Couldn't they use this driver instead? Oh, they will eventually, I hope :) I would like to make sure we're all on the same page with this. My preference would be: 1) Have renesas-ceu.c driver merged with Migo-R ported to use this new driver as an 'example'. 2) Do not remove any of the existing soc_camera code at this point 3) Port all other 4 SH users of sh_mobile_ceu_camera to use the now merged renesas-ceu driver 4) Remove sh_mobile_ceu_camera and soc_camera sensor drivers whose only users were those 4 SH boards 5) Remove soc_camera completely. For my understanding there are some PXA platforms still using soc_camera provided utilities somewhere. Hans knows better, but we can discuss this once we'll get there. Let me know if this is ok for everyone. Thanks j
