AFAICS your main problem is not the sensor driver, but the host driver, 
i.e., a driver for the camera / video capture interface on your s3c2440 
SoC. Specifically, the problem is that no such driver is currently 
available in the Linux mainline kernel and I don't remember seeing any 
patches for your SoC either recently. It might be the case, that such a 
driver is available in a vendor kernel, but then you would have to either 
contact your vendor for support with that kernel, or you would have to 
port that driver to the mainline. And then, of course, you would have to 
use the current (ATM 2.6.38-rcX) kernel for that work. Unfortunately, I 
think, finding any (unpaid) help with old (2.6.30) and / or non-mainline 
kernels on this mailing list will be difficult.

Thanks
