As Sergio noted, this is a tree for N900. The main point for the tree, however, is the OMAP 3 ISP driver, which can be tested on N900 as the tree also contains N900 sensor, lens and flash drivers. > Ultimately I want to get raw sensor data to memory.

Go with v4l2_subdev instead. If you have a sensor driver to write, the et8ek8 driver in the omap3camera tree can be used as an example on what ops the sensor driver should implement.
