This might seem like a strange question, but does anyone know the reason for the camera driver not be implemented as a SoC camera driver?

For those not familiar with this, it is a framework that uses V4L2 for cameras that use connections that aren't USB, PCI, etc. It seems that in this case this would be a perfect fit.

  • Because it's only using the V4L2 API and not the Soc-Camera Subsystem (based on the V4L2 API)

  • Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference.
