This sounds like a problem that should be solved at a machine support level rather than a camera driver. I don't follow general OMAP development closely enough to know if this bug has ever been addressed or is going to be. Unfortunatelly, I have no access to any OMAP machine other than Amstrad Delta, so I'm not able to test the driver, including its performance, on other OMAP1 implementations. Anyways, I think there is always a room for improvement, either in my omap1_camera or maybe in the omap24xxcam driver, if someone tries to add support for a camera to an OMAP1 board other than 1510, and identifies a more optimal, 1610 or higher specific way of handling the OMAP camera interface. Do you think I should rename the driver to something like "omap1510cam" rather than "omap1_camera" then?
