I think a verb could be missing from the sentence. :-) I'll send a pull
request for the entire set, containing more than just the DT changes. Feel
free to base yours on top of this.

A word of warning: I have patches to replace the V4L2 OF framework by V4L2
fwnode. The preliminary set (which is still missing V4L2 OF removal) is
here, I'll post a refresh soon:

<URL:http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-media/msg106160.html>

Let's see what the order ends up to be in the end. If the fwnode set is
applicable first, then I'd like to rebase the lane parsing changes on top of
that rather than the other way around --- it's easier that way.

CCP2? We could get these and the smiapp and possibly also the omap3isp
patches in first, to avoid having to manage a large patchset. What do you
think?

The rest could come later.

Yes! 8-)

I don't know if any euros were saved by using that video bus switch but it
sure has caused a lot of hassle (and perhaps some gray hair) for software
engineers. X-)
