Not really, unless you want to port one from another Open
OS. The chip itself doesn't have a PRM published that tells
you about the native functions it supports. The V4L2 specs
and documentation all talk about using i2c drivers to kick
the capture card into doing the right thing. Not quite sure
how efficient that really is.

On the i2c front, the major issue for us is that the drivers
are mostly in the sparc-specific side of $SRC/uts, and would
need porting. I don't believe that this would be _too_ much
of a problem, however (having looked into it a while back).
