The ideal approach is to separate the I2C adaptors (implemented on the
BUSes of the single bridges) from a generic I2C driver for the sensors 
(connected to
various I2C clients corresponding to specific models) implementing the standard
V4L2 controls, This is not easy, since bridges and sensors are strictly tied in 
a
particular configuration. So the practical approach is to embe  the code for the
sensor in the driver directly.

I hope you won't include all the decoding stuff in the driver..!? This would 
not make
any sense.
