I will try to test it on S3C6410 in some reasonably near future and report any needed corrections. Currently I am using a modified s5p-fimc driver in my project, but it supports only the codec path of S3C64xx and any needed stream duplication and rescaling is done in later processing, so it might be wise to migrate to yours.
