Did you also test with v4l2-compliance? Before I accept the driver I want to see the output of 'v4l2-compliance' and 'v4l2-compliance -s'. Basically there shouldn't be any failures. I did a quick scan over the source and I saw nothing big. When you post the new version I will go over it more carefully and do a proper review. Regards, Hans
