It's really your decision, and I'm not blaming > you. When you have libcamera ready, you'll still need some hardware and kernel to work with it. Do you have something more suitable than N9/N900? Droid 4 has separate CPU to run the camera, Librem 5 camera does not have autofocus (and I believe nor has PinePhone). My patch is not complex, and libv4l2 is full of similar hardware support code. What would be reason not to merge it? Best regards, Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
