Hans suggested this, and I assume it is beacause COLORSPACE_JPEG ==
(COLORSPACE_SRGB + assumptions on quantization ranges) which does not
apply to the sensor.

I know.
I would have kept changes down to the minimum required to remove
soc_camera dependencies, but I received comments on other parts of the
driver not directly soc_camera specific. I understand this, since I'm
touching the driver it is maybe worth changing some parts of it that
needs updates..

DT based platforms won't have any info->xlkc_rate, so they should be
fine. I wonder how could I set rate in board code, as I'm just
registering an alias for the clock there...

Ack.
