Hello,

As for the OMAP driver, right, it is indeed serving a similar purpose.
Unfortunately, I based my work on 2.6.23 and there it wasn't in the kernel
yet. Even now it is incomplete in the mainline, the platform (OMAP) part
and, I think, actual camera drivers are still only in a separate tree.
Yes, the interface itself is in mainline now, just the OMAP 2 camera
driver is missing. And you seem to have been hit by the TCM825x sensor
driver already. ;)
The int device stuff is not specific to cameras anyhow, you can easily
add commands to support other kind of devices. It's just not there (at
least yet) since I've been adding commands that are required by that
particular combination.
V4L2 int device only helps you in coupling the devices and enables
master to use the services offered by the slave.
PS. Thanks for pointing out the bug in the TCM825x driver...
