I suppose it would still apply if anyone was interested, but I see your
point.

I see two board files (and no DT) instantiate the camif device:
NexVision Nexcoder 2440 and the FriendlyARM mini2440.

Can you say whether the camif on those would actually work
at all without your patch? If not, we know that there are no
users of that driver and could either drop it completely or move
it to staging for a release or two.
