Hi,
does currently soc-camera support using soc-camera host drivers with
non soc-camera sensors?
For instance, I would like to use soc-camera host driver
mx2_camera.c with non soc-camera sensor tvp5150.c.
How much effort would it take to accomplish this goal?
The answer is: it does not work yet out of the box, but the conversion
effort should really be pretty low for standard v4l2-subdev drivers. It
should be _very_ low if you just want to try it locally, however, it will
become more essential to bring it into the mainline, because there it will
have to be done _properly_, by extending existing, and adding missing
APIs. Basically, we just need a real-life example to actually perform this
work. Up to now there have been a few such requests, but each time the
requester disappeared shortly after the first discussion round, so, we
never had a chance to actually accomplish the task.
Does it depends on conversion to v4l2-device API?

Thanks for reminding me;) As you can see, that page is dated by 2009,
since then a couple of things have changed. You'd be better off looking at
the sources or the soc-camera category in my blog.
Thanks
