Unfortunately, no. I don't have a Baytrail device to test (yet?). I
noticed this issue anyway when I tried removing `#ifdef ISP2401`.

This is not directly related to this series, but how we should reduce
the ifdef usage in the future? Here are my two ideas:

  1. (my initial idea) remove `#ifdef ISP2401` part and make ISP2401
     part completely irci_stable_candrpv_0415_20150521_0458

this way does not require (relatively) much human work I think.

But as Mauro says, the `#ifdef ISP2401` part (irci_ecr-master_20150911_0724)
is basically an improved version. So, we may also:

  2. continue unifying `#ifdef ISP2401` and `#ifndef ISP2401` parts

but this way needs more human work I think though. And if we go this
way, I also need to rewrite this patch as mentioned in the commit
message.

Sorry, I should have clarified on the cover later. For ISP2400, I did
compile test only (CONFIG_VIDEO_ATOMISP_ISP2401 enabled/disabled).
