Subject: RFC: ov5640 kernel driver.
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2015 18:41:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5600334B.4090507@by.com.es> (raw)

Hi,
we want to a v4l2 driver for the ov5640 sensor from Omnivision.

AFAIK, there was an attempt in the past to mainline that driver [1] but 
it didn't make it in the end.

Some people were asking for the code for the ov5640 and the ov5642 to be 
merged [2] as well but IMHO both sensors are not that similar so that 
it's worth a common driver.

The approach we had in mind so far was creating a new, independent, 
v4l2-subdev driver for the ov5640 with mbus support.

I've found several sources out there with code for the ov5640 but, 
surprisingly, few attempts to mainline it. I would whether it is just 
people didn't take the effort or there was something wrong with the code.

Has anyone got some comments/advices on this before we start coding? Is 
anyone already working on this and maybe we can collaborate instead of 
having two forks of the same driver?

Regards,
Javier.
