I think you may have got that wrong. The V4L2 userspace library is not
implementing any device drivers. It allow older software to work with
latest V4L2 features by emulating what is possible. It also implement
platform specific setups (media controller) and eventually will contain
needed parsers that would otherwise represent a security threat if ran
inside the Linux Kernel.
