No problem at all. I am glad it served the purpose. It is clear we need an 
API for the SoC camera interface, or a USB dongle, or a PCI card on one 
side and a CMOS sensor, or a frame-grabber, or you-name-them on the other 
side. I might well imagine, that the current soc-camera API is not a final 
solution, i.e., it will not suit all these purposes, so, I am all for a 
better more generic interface. I only hope the transition will not be too 
painful... And I suspect, we will get a couple more soc-camera drivers by 
the time the new API gets implemented, so, I very much hope we will not 
have to largely re-write them all:-)

Thanks
