No. As Hans said, one of important things, that is present in soc-camera, but absent from v4l2-subdev is bus-parameter configuration. So, to remove those dependencies one would have to develop a generic bus-configuration API for V4L2, and then convert soc-camera core and all soc-camera drivers to it. Feel free to submit patches.
