Santiago,

Yes, have_tvp7002 is not necessary. In fact evm_init_cpld() is also not 
necessary from video input source selection perspective. At this point, you can 
remove have_tvp7002() and keep the default as TVP5146. The evm_init_cpld() 
requires some cleanup for have_imager() as well. I am expecting Murali to 
provide patches for this sometime soon.

This brings up another concern. Your board setup related patches are dependent 
on one of the old patches from Neil Sikka - to add TVP5146 capture support. 
That patch is not in the mainline yet and requires re-submission by Murali.

I suggest you complete the TVP7002 sub-device driver (tvp7002.c and tvp7002.h), 
submit patches and follow up with the approval in the V4L2 community.

Patches corresponding to VPFE and DM365 board setup can be handled by Murali, 
working with you.

Thanks
Sneha
