Both actually. The soc-camera core and soc-camera hosts first need to be 
extended to support both pad-aware and non pad-aware subdevs. Guennadi gave 
that a thought some time ago, I'm not sure what the status is.

Then the soc-camera platform data need to be split in a sensor part and a host 
part. This is required for DT support as well, so work is ongoing there. 
Finally your sensor driver will need to implement pad operations.
