I don't see why we should remove those. I mean, Jacopo is
actually converting those drivers to not depend on soc_camera,
and it is a way better to review those patches with the old
code in place.

So, at least while Jacopo is keep doing this work, I would keep
at Kernel tree, as it helps to see a diff when the driver changes
when getting rid of soc_camera dependencies.

So, IMO, the best would be to move those to /staging, eventually
depending on BROKEN.

Thanks,
Mauro
