Yes, this ISI driver addition is also dependent on an update of the ISI
driver itself that will certainly be included in 3.3 by Guennadi using
v4L2 path.

So, do we have to wait for its inclusion in linux-next or maybe we can
manage this little out-of-sync situation during the 3.3 life cycle...

ISI is a "several times reworked" and "long-awaited" driver and I really
would like to see it included in mainline soon...

I don't see why code that is known to be broken should be added to the kernel.

The way these things are normally handled is that once Guennadi has
the patch on a stable branch, we can add that branch as a dependency
that your code requires. So we pull that in as a dependency and apply
your code on top of it (or, if it is just one or two patches, that
they are are cherry-picked into your branch in the same way).

But that requires that he picks up the v4l patches and keeps it in a
stable, small, branch and that said branch gets merged in the 3.3
merge window before the branch containing these at91 changes do.

Guennadi, sound reasonable to you?
