Maybe a stupid question, but how do you access this in a driver? I have to

I agree. I'll add similar support for the omap3isp driver in the near future
though. Let's see how the camera modules will get modelled, if they will,
and if this property still fits to the picture by that time, then we make it
more generic.
What do you think?
