Baseline for a new i2c sensor driver

Baseline for a new i2c sensor driver

[Richard Leitner]

Hello linux-media world,
I'm currently working on forward-porting and mainlining a i2c sensor 
driver and would like to know what would be the best reference to base 
this driver on?

Any hints would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

regards;Richard.L

Which of the exsisting mainline driver is the best base might depends
on which sensor you're trying to support and on your platform.

Anway, the most recent sensor driver added to linux-media are,
according to 'git log --oneline  --diff-filter=A --stat drivers/media/i2c/':

879347f0c258 media: ov8856: Add support for OV8856 sensor
436190596241 media: imx214: Add imx214 camera sensor driver
df0b5c4a7ddd media: add imx355 camera sensor driver
8a89dc62f28c media: add imx319 camera sensor driver
3ee47cad3e69 media: ov2680: Add Omnivision OV2680 sensor driver
aab7ed1c3927 media: i2c: Add driver for Aptina MT9V111

The list cover sensors from OV, Aptina and Sony.

I would also suggest to look at  drivers/media/i2c/smiapp/ which
Sakari generally updates to the latest features added on the framework
side.

Thanks
