Ok, I've applied all your 13 patches to check, what the resulting driver 
would look like. To me it looks like you really abstract away _everything_ 
remotely hardware-specific. What is left is yet another abstraction layer, 
into which you can pack a wide range of hardware types, which are very 
different from the original ISI. I mean, you could probably pack - to some 
extent, maybe sacrificing some features - other existing soc-camera 
drivers, like MX3, MX2, CEU,... - essentially those, using VB2. And I 
don't think that's a good idea. We have a class of V4L2 camera bridge 
drivers, that's fine. They use all the standard APIs to connect to the 
user-space and to other V4L2 drivers in video pipelines - V4L2 ioctl()s, 
subdev, Media Controller, VB2, V4L2 control API etc. Under that we have 
soc-camera - mainly for a few existing bridge drivers, because it takes a 
part of bridge driver's implementation freedom away and many or most 
modern camera bridge interfaces are more complex, than what soc-camera 
currently supports, and extending it makes little sense, it is just more 
logical to create a full-features V4L2 bridge driver with a full access to 
all relevant APIs. With your patches #12 and #13 you seem to be creating 
an even tighter, narrower API for very thin drivers. That just provide a 
couple of hardware-related functions and create a V4L2 bridge driver from 
that. What kind of hardware is that new controller, that you'd like to 
support by the same driver? Wouldn't it be better to create a new driver 
for it? Is it really similar to the ISI controller?

Thanks
