I don't know much about this driver, but here's my $0.02. Since the RGB code has known issues and this is a new driver, it is probably best to submit it without the code for RGB support. As is, even without direct support from the driver, users can retrieve RGB data from the camera using libv4l. Your argument is therefore more or less mute. If someone were to want to add RGB support to the driver, I'm sure they'd prefer to have a clean and functional driver to work with rather than wading through a bunch of dead/broken code.
