I'm not sure about the state of i.MX6, but have a look at drivers/media/platform/coda.c. It is not using soc-camera, and I don't seem to find any examples of board files, using that driver... And if you need mt9m001, which is (originally) an soc-camera driver, it will have to be slightly adjusted to work with other hosts.
