Probably. Guennadi should be able to help you some more with that, he's the soc-camera expert. > I've been reviewing the code of mt9t112 and I'm not very sure soc-camera > code can be easily isolated. > > What is the future of soc-camera anyway? Since it seems v4l2-subdev and > media-controller clearly make it deprecated. My understanding is that soc-camera will stay, but sensor drivers will likely not depend on soc-camera anymore. soc-camera will use pad-level operations, as well as a bus configuration ioctl that has been proposed on the list (but not finalized yet). Guennadi, can you share some information about this ? > Wouldn't it be more suitable to just develop a separate mt9t112 driver > which includes v4l2-subdev and pad-level operations without soc-camera? I don't think duplicate drivers will be accepted for mainline. -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
