Re: [PATCH 2/2] media: ov5640: Fix auto-exposure disabling

Hi Jacopo,

In serie "[PATCH 0/5] Fix OV5640 exposure & gain"
https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg133269.html
I've tried to collect fixes around exposure/gain, not only the exposure 
regression and I would prefer to keep it consistent with the associated 
procedure test.
Moreover I dislike the internal use of control framework functions to 
disable/enable exposure/gain, on my opinion this has to be kept simpler
by just disabling/enabling the right registers.
Would it be possible that you test my 5 patches serie on your side ?

Best regards,
Hugues.
