You can change the Bayer pattern by moving the crop rectangle. That how the 
mt9v032 driver ensures a GRBG pattern even though the first active pixel in 
the sensor array is a blue one. As the MT9V034 first active pixel is located 
at different coordinates you will have to modify the crop rectangle 
computation logic to get GRBG.

It's like a white balance issue. The OMAP3 ISP hardware doesn't perform 
automatic white balance, you will need to implement an AWB algorithm in 
software. You can have a look at the omap3-isp-live project for sample code 
(http://git.ideasonboard.org/omap3-isp-live.git).
