Hi!

I have finally found the old mail you were refering to. Let me go
through it.

Well... I believe exposure in usec is preffered format for userspace
to work with (because then it can change resolution and keep camera
settings) but I see kernel code is quite ugly. Let me see what I can do...

Ok.

Hmm. Actually if we hit this, it indicates something funny is going
on, no? I guess I'll add WARN_ON there...

Ok.

Thanks for patience,
