Non-essential comments ?
Maybe you disagree or don't care about them, but that's something different.

> Could you test, please?

Yes, this patch will make the warnings disappear and works at least for
my em28xx+ov2640 device.
What about Mauros an my concerns with regards to all other em28xx devices ?
And what about the em28xx v4l2-clk patches ?

It's pretty simple: someone (usually the maintainer ;) ) needs to decide
which way to go.
Either accept and apply the existing patches or request new ones with
changes.
But IMHO doing nothing for 2 months isn't the right way to handle
regressions.

Frank
