Hi!

These types devices aren't directly related to the sensor, but are
nevertheless handled by the smiapp driver due to the relationship of these
component to the main part of the camera module --- the sensor.

Additionally, for the async sub-device registration to work, the notifier
containing matching fwnodes will need to be registered. This is natural to
perform in a sensor driver as well.

This does not yet address providing the user space with information on how
to associate the sensor, lens or EEPROM devices but the kernel now has the
necessary information to do that.

Let me see... I guess this is going to be quite interesting for me,
too, because I'll be able to remove similar code in omap3 isp driver.

Yes, indeed. And with this, we have the lens - sensor association
information as a bonus.

I'll drop EEPROM support in v2, I guess you wouldn't have needed it? I guess
we'll need to see examples that can be found in the wild. My current
understanding is that EEPROM could be a separate chip in the module as well
as integrated to the sensor.

I don't think I need EEPROM, no. (But I did not check the datasheets).

Thanks,
