We have two mt9t031 cameras that have a muxed bus on the robot.
We can control which one we are using with gpio outputs. This
currently is not optimal
So, what prevents you from registering two platform devices for your 
two cameras? Is there a problem with that?
The lack of time until now to do it properly. I sent those patches as  
initial RFC (and by the way thanks for your comment).

I would like to have one video interface only and that I can switch  
between the two physical camera using a quite simple system call. Would  
that be compatible with registering the two platform devices ?
Wouldn't it be better to have /dev/video[01] for two cameras? How do
keep the registers synchron between both cameras otherwise?
