[Hiremath, Vaibhav] I wanted to move this file to ti-media directory, but left it only because it is based on V4L2-Int framework (legacy).

[Hiremath, Vaibhav] Laurent,

ti-media directory is top level directory where we are putting all TI devices drivers. So having said that, we should worrying about what goes inside this directory.
For me ISP is more generic, if you compare davinci and OMAP. 

Frankly, there are various naming convention we do have from device to device, even if the IP's are being reused. For example, the internal name for OMAP is ISP but Davinci refers it as a VPSS.

Thanks,
Vaibhav
