Sorry, I was out of the office.
Okay, let's reuse the driver. I guess the hardware programming part
itself is smaller than the V4L2 boiler plate needed for it and that's
where the 1000 lines of code comes from.
The first step I'd suggest then would be running the latest
v4l2-compliance, from the master branch of v4l2-utils [1] and making
sure there are no issues.
Then check if any comments I posted to the new code added by your
patch apply to the existing code as well and fixing those issues in a
prerequisite patches, at the beginning of the series.
