First i may have missed this but what is the reasoning behind
statically assigning the sensors based on device?
I don't really mind statically assigning the sensor perse, I just
perfer determing the sensor using a single method and am unsure what
was decided was wrong with simply probing for all sensor types.
We had to fix the probing anyway since probing, assigning
functions/parameters and initializing at the same time made life difficult.
At that point we decided to simplify the process if we already knew the
sensor.

I actually suggested taking advantage of the static information we
had. I didn't actually mean that we shouldn't probe -- what I'd
envisioned (and planned to code when I had time), was taking the
static information and using that to guide probing, e.g. "what offset
should I start probing at", such that the answer for any particular
cam would usually be the offset of the actual sensor in the static
array of sensors.

But I never got around to a patch (because of working on the KIPR
stuff, and family obligations) and the rest of the folks got tired of
waiting ;-)

What I was originally envisioning might not even be possible to do
efficiently in C (at least not more efficiently than just iterating
through the sensors and probing).

Just out of curiousity: What *is* KIPR?
