My feeling is that this should go with the v4l subsystem thus Cc-ing linux-media. Do you have any datasheet for this sensor? At some point [1] we considered introducing the fingerprint sensor as an IIO device, but that didn't quite fit. So, we reconsidered using v4l. I this is your case too :). Hope this helps. Daniel.

Note however that AFAIK, no sensor is currently sending frames from SPI right now...

The confusion on this probably stems from thermopiles (which are kind of single pixel thermal cameras) and higher res thermal cameras. If you think of it as the same an ambient light sensor vs an optical camera then the divisions become clearer. There are very low pixel count thermal cameras that blur the boundaries though so I guess you may have one of those? 4x4 for example. I still think these should be v4l. Kind of dependent on whether the output is 2d or 1d to my mind.
