You mean I fix the comment, right?

I mean, when probing (or even opening) the device, pxacamera.init()
is now called *after* the power ON and reset. If I kept disabled (high)
nCAM_EN in init(), as it should've been, this would have overridden
the previous power(1) call.

Isn't init() in pxacamera platform data meant to initialize the device
before it can be powered ON? In fact I am requesting the gpios in
a780_pxacamera_init, and if power() or reset() are called before it, then
they will be invalid, because the gpios have not been requested yet.

Moreover, pxacamera.init() is called in pxa_camera_activate, which is
called in pxa_camera_add_device, which in turn is invoked by
soc_camera_open() every time.
Shouldn't the init() method, where I request gpios, be called
only on probe?

Let me be more schematic, when probing the camera we have:

soc_camera_probe()         /* same in soc_camera_open! */
|-	icl->power(1)
|-	icl->reset()
|-	icd->ops->add()
	|-	pxacamera.init()  /* requesting gpios here! */
|-	video_dev_create(icd)
|-	...

Maybe we should have something like:

pxacamera.init()           /* request gpios only once! on probe. */
soc_camera_probe()         /* same in soc_camera_open */
|-	icl->power(1)
|-	icl->reset()
|-	icd->ops->add()
|-	video_dev_create(icd)
|-	...

Or, I'm missing what init() is supposed to do :)
Does a patch like this make sense to you?
(I've read the other mail about removing .init just before hitting Send,
this can be an alternative to removing it, having GPIOs setup in the
user driver seems clearer to me.)
