Subject: [RFC] driver model for camera sensors
Date: Mon, 12 May 2008 10:58:18 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <g08tjl$uqt$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi all,
in 2.6.26-rc1 today we have soc-camera driver and two drivers for Micron
cameras in this new driver model. But there are few old drivers for
OmniVision cameras, and they do not work with soc-camera driver model.
In other side, these two new Micron drivers does not work with old
interface.
So, we have the same sensors on different busses (soc, usb) and we need
two different drivers for the same sensor. I thing it's a good idea to
make all camera sensor drivers in unified model, that would be able to
work on both busses (usb, soc).
Now I need driver for OV7670 sensor and I want to write it correct form.
I think sensor driver should be universal and configurable. It should be
able interface with v4l2 through soc-camera or usb bus.
I suggest to put all sensor drivers in separate directory in kernel tree.
Am I rigth? Please comment my opinion.
BR,
Darius
