I will post some other bugfixes (and feature adding) for pxa_camera soon. Do you wish to be CC'd? 

P.S. Who is the the maintainer of pxa_camera BTW? Still Guennadi Liakhovetski? Basically pxa_camera is no longer part of the soc_camera and MAINTAINERS file does not exactly specify pxa_camera.c (I'm asking because I will send the patch for ov9640 soc_camera removal too :-D).

Best regards,
Petr
