You might seek to try lowering the pixel clock on the sensor to see whether
it makes any difference. I don't think there's been any changes to how the
sensor is programmed since the original software was shipped with the
device. That doesn't apply to the SoC and the clock tree in the SoC however.
I wonder if there could be changes in clock frequencies and how the ISP is
clocked. The omap3isp driver has changed heavily as well.

Just my 5 Euro cents (they have no smaller coins around here).
