24xx camera driver is now in David's hand. I just review the code now,
as not able to work on camera stuff anymore.
 
Following strategy can work out meanwhile as I had offline discussion
with David :)

o Separate 24xx CamDMA code from omap24xxcam.c to new file as 
  exported apis (Suggested by David)

o Keep the old omap24xxcam driver interface(2.6.8 TI kernel days), 
  having video out code part of the camera driver itself. As new 
  separated video out code depends upon the common display controller  
  library, which requires to change fb driver in git tree to adopt 
  that interface, so that video out, and fb driver can 
  utilize the same code. But video out patches submitted by me didn't 
  generated any discussion on the list in that direction. 

o So, to have 24xx camera code in git tree, we can use the old camera 
  driver interface as of now, if everyone agrees.
