Re: [PATCH v2 1/3] media: atmel-isi: remove the useless code which disable isi

Hi Josh,

Thanks for the patch. I'm afraid I don't quite understand why it is 
needed, could you maybe explain a bit more? Is it because

(1) during ISI configuration the pixel clock from the sensor is (usually) 
anyway disabled, so, we don't have to additionally disable the ISI, 
without the pixel clock the ISI is anyway already disabled.

or

(2) disabling the ISI at those locations below breaks something, because 
when the ISI is disabled, the functionality, that's later used isn't 
available.

I assume it's (1), but if that's the case, then this patch is just 
cosmetic, right? The ISI is anyway disabled, so, that operation simply has 
no effect, but also doesn't hurt. OTOH, if some sensor keeps its master 
clock running all the time, then switching the ISI off as in the current 
version helps save some power, unless it breaks anything?

Thanks
Guennadi
