This would be my third preference. My first preference is just a comment. 
My second preference is adding

	if (!start)
		return;

in the middle of soc_camera_limit_side() and using NULL in 
mt9t112_set_fmt(). I really dislike meaningless operations, also when they 
fix compiler warnings, but here even the compiler is happy:)
