1
2- Clean up and move the ov5642 subdev driver to drivers/media/i2c, or
3  merge support for OV5642 into drivers/media/i2c/ov5640.c, and create
4  the binding docs for it.

6- The Frame Interval Monitor could be exported to v4l2-core for
7  general use.

9- At driver load time, the device-tree node that is the original source
10  (the "sensor"), is parsed to record its media bus configuration, and
11  this info is required in imx-media-csi.c to setup the CSI.
12  Laurent Pinchart argues that instead the CSI subdev should call its
13  neighbor's g_mbus_config op (which should be propagated if necessary)
14  to get this info. However Hans Verkuil is planning to remove the
15  g_mbus_config op. For now this driver uses the parsed DT mbus config
16  method until this issue is resolved.
17
18- This media driver supports inheriting V4L2 controls to the
19  video capture devices, from the subdevices in the capture device's
20  pipeline. The controls for each capture device are updated in the
21  link_notify callback when the pipeline is modified. It should be
22  decided whether this feature is useful enough to make it generally
23  available by exporting to v4l2-core.
