Good that you mentioned this. In fact, I think, that .init should go. So 
far it is used in pcm990-baseboard.c to initialise pins. You're doing 
essentially the same - requesting and configuring GPIOs. And it has been 
agreed, that there is so far no real case, where a static 
GPIO-configuration wouldn't work. So, I would suggest you remove .init, 
configure GPIOs statically. And then submit a patch to remove .init 
completely from struct pxacamera_platform_data. Robert, do you agree?

Thanks
Guennadi
