IIRC, Sam's system has never worked with the ov5640 driver, and his
patches now make it work.

Your patches on the other hand make sure that the current series
doesn't break existing users. So I guess we could merge your current
patches into the v5 of my rework, and have Sam send his work on top of
that.

Does that make sense?
