I've reviewed the code from bottom to top, so comments might be a bit inconsistent sometimes.

You must kmalloc the via_camera structure in probe and set the pointer as driver private data to access it later in V4L2 operations and device core callbacks. Otherwise Bad Things (TM) will happen if the device is removed while the video device node is opened. [snip] > +/* > + * Configure the sensor.

What are the hardware restrictions regarding the memory it can capture images to ? Does it just have to be physically contiguous, or does the memory need to come from a specific memory area ? In the first case you could use videobuf_dma_contig and avoid the memcpy completely. In the second case you should still mmap the memory to userspace when using kernel-allocated buffers instead of memcpying the data. If you really need a memcpy, you should then probably use videobuf_vmalloc instead of videobuf_dma_sg. > + vb->state = VIDEOBUF_DONE; > + vb->size = cam->user_format.sizeimage; > + wake_up(&vb->done); > +done: > + return IRQ_HANDLED; > +} [snip] > +/* > + * Set the scaling register for downscaling the image. > + * > + * This register works like this...
