I considered that, but we already know that series is not meant to go
far, so I could just as reference...

Might be, yes...

Great! Thanks for testing!

I think you can keep v6, as this one is RFT..

I think this will need a bit more thoughts... Separating max9271 and
ov10653 might be trivial, as the only action the current rdacm20
driver does on the sensor is an initial configuration with a set of
register-value entries. It's a bit more work to properly define the
data connection in DT and setting up a sub-notifier in the serializer
driver, but that's totally feasible...

Although, as Laurent pointed out we have a uController in the camera
module, regulators (iirc) etc, and so it makes sense to keep a single
rdacm20 driver, breaking out the serializer driver code into a
re-usable library instead of making a proper driver out of it.

What's your opinion on this ?

Thanks
