The original driver uses the 800x600 mode to also store "init_mode" registers,
no matter what mode is set, first all 800x600 registers are written and then
the other mode's registers are written over that.

This ugliness goes away later in the series when this gets renamed to
ov2680_global_setting[] and all the mode specific registers are dropped
because they are calculated based on crop + binning.

When switching to calculating the mode registers the register poke also gets some docs :)

        /* R MANUAL set exposure (0x01) and gain (0x02) to manual (hw does not do auto) */
        {0x3503, 0x03},

Regards,

Hans
