AFAIK the old Raspberry Pi Camera V1 isn't supported by V4L2
bcm2835-unicam. Personally i'm fine with this, but this must be clear in
the commit message.Did you already talked to distributions like Redhat &
OpenSuSE about this step?

AFAIU this drops the only one user of VCHIQ MMAL. So please explain, why
we still need this API and how this should be tested?
Best regards
