This is a change, that would affect all soc-camera host drivers. Since you 
don't describe the actual problem and the platform, on which it occurs, I 
suppose, it is not a regression, and, possibly, it only affects an 
off-tree driver from your employer. Therefore I don't think it would be 
reasonable to push it in the middle of an -rc* period. Still, this change 
seems logical, and I'll consider including it in the 3.3 kernel. I'll come 
back to you if I have further questions.
