Hello everyone,

When I updated driver in my tree with this patch, I noticed that my 
setup using the ATMEL isc platform + ov5640 in parallel bus mode stopped 
working.

It looks like the culprit is this patch.
I am not sure which is the best way to fix it.
It looks like initially things work fine when probing the driver, but 
when we want to start streaming at a later point, the register SYS_CTRL0 
cannot be written anymore.
Here is an output of the log:

  --- Opening /dev/video0...
     Trying source module v4l2...
     /dev/video0 opened.
     No input was specified, using the first.
     ov5640 1-003c: ov5640_write_reg: error: reg=3008, val=2
     atmel-sama5d2-isc f0008000.isc: stream on failed in subdev -121
     Error starting stream.
     VIDIOC_STREAMON: Remote I/O error
     Unable to use mmap. Using read instead.
     Unable to use read.

I am using a simple application to read from /dev/video0 (which is 
registered by the atmel-isc once the sensor probed)

I have a feeling that something is wrong related to power, but I cannot 
tell for sure.

Reverting this patch makes it work fine again.

Help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Eugen
