I don't disagree with that. I'll have to review the patch in details, as the 
CCDC code is quite sensitive. In order to do so, I'd like to know whether the 
problem in your case was caused by the adv7180 always being enabled. Any luck 
with adding a s_stream implementation in the adv7180 driver ? :-)
