[Q] What sensor does s5K6aa driver support?

[javier Martin]

Hi,
the following driver claims to support S5K6AAFX Samsung sensor:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.3/drivers/media/video/s5k6aa.c

However, we've been informed that this reference is marked as EOL. Has
anyone tested this driver with anothe sensor compatible with S5K6AAFX
that can be used as a replacement?

Regards.

It's rather unlikely to get this driver working with other sensors
without any modifications. Although the required changes might not be 
significant, still it would probably make more sense to write a new driver 
for another sensor.

I'm not sure who provided you with the information this sensor is being
discontinued, but wasn't it suggested to you what other similar sensors 
are available and can be used instead ?
