Yes. The Rockchip ISP requires device-specific userspace, so requiring
it to know about the driver doesn't seem a problem to me. I however
expect some people to disagree :-) We should however record this in
documentation somewhere, requiring userspace developers to read the
rkisp1 documentation is one thing, requiring them to read the driver
source code to figure out how to use it would be going one step too far
I think.
