I'm glad this work is being done, but I have some high-level grumbles to start with. This patch is too big, and does several things. I think there needs to be one to add SOC support (but see below), one to add planar formats, one to add MIPI, one for the second CCIC, etc. That will make them all easier to review. The SOC camera stuff could maybe use a little more thought. Why does this driver *need* to be a SOC camera driver? If that is truly necessary (or sufficiently beneficial), can we get to the point where that's the only mode? I really dislike the two modes; we're essentially perpetuating the two-drivers concept in a #ifdef'd form; it would be good not to do that. If there is truly some reason why both modes need to exist, can we arrange things so that the core doesn't know the difference? I'd like to see no new ifdefs there if possible, it already has way too many. That, I think, is how I'd like to go toward a cleaner, more reviewable, more maintainable solution. Make sense?
