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).
