That's nice to hear :-) Without the ability to control the ISP from
userspace, the driver will have very limited usefulness. Still, I
understand that incremental development will be easier to handle, so I'm
not against merging this patch series with hardcoded parameters first,
and adding support for ISP control on top. It may however make sense to
merge the driver in drivers/staging/media/ first, and move it to
drivers/media/ once support for ISP control will be available. That
would give you more room to change the userspace API exposed by the
driver when implementing support for ISP control without having to keep
backward compatibility. Sakari, Hans, do you have any opinion on this ?

Do you have an estimated time frame for when ISP control will be ready ?
