I did say, that I am fine with dropping soc-camera gradually, and I stay with that. But I see now, that at least two drivers want to stay active: Atmel ISI and PXA270. One possibility is of course to make them independent drivers. If people are prepared to invest work into that - sure, would be great! If we however decide to keep soc-camera, I could propose the following: IIUC, the largest problem is sensor drivers, that cannot be reused for other non-soc-camera bridge drivers. The thing is, out of all the sensor drivers currently under drivers/media/i2c/soc_camera only a couple are in use on those active PXA270 and Atmel boards. I could propose the following: 1. Remove all bridge drivers, that noone cares about. 2. If anyone ever needs to use any of soc-camera-associated sensor drivers, take them out of soc-camera and _remove_ any soc-camera dependencies 3. If any soc-camera boards will need that specific driver, which in itself is already unlikely, we'll have to fix that by teaching soc-camera to work with generic sensor drivers!
