Hi Manjunath,

This may be a stupid question, but how much changes are there between this
driver and the OMAP 3 ISP driver?

I understand that not all the blocks are there. Are there any major
functional differences between those in Davinci and those in OMAP 3? Could
the OMAP 3 ISP driver made support Davinci ISP as well?

There are number of possible improvements that still should be made to the
OMAP 3 ISP driver so this way both of the driver would easily get them. To
mention some:

- Multiple output pipeline
- Switch to videobuf2
- Switch to GENIRQ
