I don't see why code that is known to be broken should be added to the kernel.

The way these things are normally handled is that once Guennadi has
the patch on a stable branch, we can add that branch as a dependency
that your code requires. So we pull that in as a dependency and apply
your code on top of it (or, if it is just one or two patches, that
they are are cherry-picked into your branch in the same way).

But that requires that he picks up the v4l patches and keeps it in a
stable, small, branch and that said branch gets merged in the 3.3
merge window before the branch containing these at91 changes do.

Guennadi, sound reasonable to you?
