Ok, static build is indeed broken. The reason is the wrong initialisation order. First, internally we have to link camera host drivers after camera device drivers, that's easy. But unfortunately that alone doesn't help. The second problem is that i2c is linked after media, or, maybe rather media is linked before i2c. Currently in drivers/Makefile "media" is on the same line as "base" and "block", way before IDE, ATA, SCSI, firewire, mtd, spi, usb, input... Is there a reason for that? Mauro, would anything break if we move it down right after i2c? Another hackish interim solution would be to replace module_init with subsys_init in i2c-sh_mobile.c like some other i2c adapters do (including MXC, PXA). That's certainly easier, but then we'd also have to modify i2c-imx, later maybe i2c-at91.c...
