Hi,

 I'm writing a driver for the OmniVision OV9655 camera chip connected to a
PXA270 processor. I based my work on the soc_camera interface, but I need
some additional gpios for reset and power_enable. What is the best way to
pass this information to the driver?


I don't know about soc_camera, but the stkwebcam driver has code to drive
the ov9650 sensors. I'd like to use some generic interface in it, instead of the
current code. IIRC, Mauro suggested v4l2-int-device when the driver
was submitted.
Do you think your work could be used by stkwebcam? note that I don't know much
about the syntek camera controller, and stkwebcam is a reverse
engineered driver.
I use the soc_camera interface, because I can reused the pxa_camera driver. If we want to use the same driver for the stkwebcam, we have to implement a generic interface for the register access and split the OV9655 driver or a i2c bus driver for the syntek camera controller.
Anyway, maybe the code in drivers/media/video/stk-sensor.c is useful for you, so
feel free to use it if you want.

Regards,
Jaime
Thanks
