This patch depends not only on the above two OF patches, that Sylwester 
kindly polished to make them finally suitable for the mainline :-), but 
also on V4L2 (temporary) clock and asynchronous probing patches, which 
I've just re-posted in their v7. Once those patches stabilise, it will be 
possible to re-spin this patch too. However, currently I don't have any 
interested users for this work, so I can only run it as a low priority 
task in my spare time, of which I don't have much.

Thanks
