Well, thanks for offer. This is actualy libv4l2.

But I'd say NEON conversion is not neccessary anytime soon. First,
this is just trying to get average luminosity. We can easily skip
quite a lot of pixels, and still get reasonable answer.

Second, omap3isp actually has a hardware block computing statistics
for us. We just don't use it for simplicity.

(But if you want to play with camera, I'll get you patches; there's
ton of work to be done, both kernel and userspace :-).

Pavel
