I'm confused about where I find "the most recent OMAP3 ISP driver". The OMAP3 ISP driver on linuxtv is the most recent one, but doesn't support the N900 as it lacks sensor drivers and board code. The gitorious tree has full N900 camera support but is based on 2.6.35 and on an older media controller API. > To take a concrete example, in media-0004-omap3isp, media_device_register() > WARNs if mdev doesn't have a model name (I get the warning).

If I understood you correctly above, media-0004-omap3isp has the > newer framework, so the newer framework requires a model name?

It would be the other way around, patches against the gitorious tree could fix problems already fixed on linuxtv. > I appreciate your help so far.
