Hello Erik Ilyes, *

This structure is good or is not. In fact, this is not the problem because
I think a good choice is concentrate on existing models.

Today, it seems that a consensus exists on the gspcav2 driver model.

http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/raw-file/tip/README.patches

So, even if it may sound unpleasent to loose driver code (v4l, bayerdecode for 
example), it is much more productive to adopt the model with in mind a 
possible/future goal of merging the sensors specific code associated with the 
m5602 (the m5603) .

This does not prevent the studying of the gspcav2 general enveloppe code and 
submit provides ask for corrections, extensions, bugs...

Don't worry about application support. gspca had the exact same
problem with many cams having weird custom formats and I've written a 
userspace
library to transparently handle conversion to normal formats for v4l2 apps, 
and
even added a v4l1 compatibility layer on top of this. By using this library 
you
thus get full v4l1 compatibility as an added bonus, and doing decompression in
userspace really is so much easier! This lib can even be used without
recompiling applications by using LD_PRELOAD (tested with skype amongst other
apps).
