Hi,
What's the plan for the rx51 camera drivers from [0]? Is there a
chance, that they get included in the mainline 3.2 or 3.3 kernel?
The ad5820 driver will probably be the simplest one to upstream. It should be
possible to push it to v3.3. Someone needs to look at the lens-related
controls and how they can be standardized (if at all).
I don't know enough of different lenses to give a definitive answer but so
far what I have seen is that the way to drive a lens varies wildly from chip
to another. It might not be possible to standarside them.
I agree the ad5820 would be relatively easy to upstream.
The et8ek8 driver is a different story. I don't think it should get mainlined
in its current state. We need to get rid of the camera firmware support
from
the driver first, and if possible implement the V4L2 API correctly without
relying on register lists.
I fully agree with this. One problem is that the documentation for this
sensor is poor and not many of its registers are known. It's possible to use
it with the existing register list (which should be part of the driver
itself).
