Yes, there is an Oops currently in mt9m111, that this patch would fix,
thanks! But please, do it a bit differently: please, move the lines
/* Default HIGHPOWER context */
mt9m111->ctx = &context_b;
from mt9m111_init() to probing, instead of adding a context_a selection.
And I think it would be more logical to move those lines to
mt9m111_probe(), directly below the mt9m111 allocation, not to
mt9m111_video_probe(). Please, make this change and submit a patch.
Thanks
