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.
