I agree that more often that not we've seen code dumped in staging and left there unmaintained. Once bitten, twice shy (or as we say in French, a scalded cat fears cold water), but let's not necessarily assume the worst possible outcome :-) Of course, if StarFive wants to speed up development of the ISP support, both on the kernel side and libcamera side, I'm sure Kieran and I can help (possibly not very fast if it is only done in our spare time though, but that's a separate discussion). -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
