Hi,

I don't think there are proper means yet to do this, as camera is
somewhat a special case in omap3, it is apparently the only module that
is causing this kind of problem. However, you can prevent idle when
camera is active with something like this:

diff --git a/arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm34xx.c b/arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm34xx.c
index 2789e0a..7fdf6e2 100644

                                omap3_per_save_context();
        }
 
+       if (pwrdm_read_pwrst(cam_pwrdm) == PWRDM_POWER_ON)

        if (core_next_state < PWRDM_POWER_ON) {
                omap_uart_prepare_idle(0);
