Sure.
Would you accept the final patch to make the move, so that I keep the
bisectability, ie. that all patches are applied while still in ../soc_camera,
and then the final one making just the move to .../platform ?

Ok, let's try this, for v3.

Well, above kernel v4.7, if I drop the assignement, v4l2-compliance -s finds 2
new errors:
	Required ioctls:
			fail: v4l2-compliance.cpp(534): dcaps & ~caps
		test VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: FAIL
	
	Allow for multiple opens:
		test second video open: OK
			fail: v4l2-compliance.cpp(534): dcaps & ~caps
		test VIDIOC_QUERYCAP: FAIL
		test VIDIOC_G/S_PRIORITY: OK

So there is something fishy here if the core provides this data ...

OK, for v3.

Well, it was at least with the previous framework.
Previously this was done here to "hot-queue" a buffer :
 - if a previous capture was still running, the buffer was queued by
   pxa_dma_add_tail_buf(), and no restart of the DMA pump was necessary
 - if the previous capture was finished, a new one was initiated

Now if the new framework takes care of that, I can move the
pxa_camera_start_capture() into start_streaming(), no problem, let me try in the
next patchset. That might take a bit of time because testing both the
"hot-queue" and the "queue but hot-queuing missed" is a bit tricky.

I have no minimum required by the pxa dmaengine driver, that's good.

OK, for v3.

Cheers.
