that page suggests that there is an open source driver for the
rear camera:

BTW:
Bt200 has OV7692

So summary:
there are potential real users of omap4-iss. Apparently all of them
require besides a working a omap4-iss to work on some sensor driver to
have something useful.

If omap4-iss would be known-working there are probably better chances
that more jump in.
