Much appreciated! That's also a great help in getting this into mainline.
If it passes these test cleanly, then that gives me a lot of confidence
about the quality of the driver.

A full review of the v4l2 driver? Ping me once we've merged this patch series,
and I can do a full review of the driver. I'll try to go through this series
today.
