Hi Sasha,

I have no specific objections against the backporting of this
and other atomisp related patches.

But in general the atomisp driver is not yet in a state where
it is ready to be used by normal users. Progress is being made
but atm I don't really expect normal users to have it enabled /
in active use.

As such I'm also not sure if there is much value in backporting
atomisp changes to the stable series.

I don't know if you have a way to opt out certain drivers /
file-paths from stable series backporting, but if you do
you may want to consider opting out everything under:

drivers/staging/media/atomisp/

As said above I don't think doing the backports offers
much (if any) value to end users and I assume it does take
you some time, so opting this path out might be better.

Also given the fragile state of atomisp support atm
it is hard to say for me if partially backporting some of
the changes won't break the driver.

I'll blacklist drivers/staging/media/atomisp/, thank you!
