I've taken a quick look and I have a two main comments:

1) Please use video_ioctl2 rather than setting up your own ioctl 
callback. New drivers should use it.

2) Can you describe what the non-standard v4l2 ioctls are used for? I 
suspect that some of these can be done differently. Something like a 
chromakey is already available in v4l2 (through VIDIOC_G/S_FBUF and 
VIDIOC_G/S_FMT), things like mirror is available as a control, and 
rotation should perhaps be a control as well. Ditto for background 
color. These are just ideas, it depends on how it is used exactly.

3) Some of the lines are broken up rather badly probably to respect the 
80 column maximum. Note that the 80 column maximum is a recommendation, 
and that readability is more important. So IMHO it's better to have a 
slightly longer line and break it up at a more logical place. However, 
switching to video_ioctl2 will automatically reduce the indentation, so 
this might not be that much of an issue anymore.

It is possible to setup a mercurial repository on linuxtv.org? I thought 
that Manju has an account by now. This is useful as well for all the 
other omap camera patches. I've seen omap patches popping up all over 
the place for the past six months (if not longer) but it needs to be a 
bit more organized if you want it to be merged. Setting up v4l-dvb 
repositories containing the new patches is a good way of streamlining 
the process.

Obviously the process is more complicated for you since the omap stuff 
relies on various subsystems and platform code. Perhaps someone within 
TI should be coordinating this?
