Inki, Tomasz, are you happy with the latest posting -- i.e. does this
look sensible and useful for the V4L and display controller work?

Sumit, Tomasz: have you two synced up on this?

Laurent, is there an action here to kick off the discussion of the V4L2
API changes (which I don't understand current status of very well)?

I think Rob's said he'd have time to look at this in a week or two so I
won't inquire on this.

Mauro probably still needs the Panda set up at least, or an up-to-date
Samsung board. Can either of you provide him something to make testing
this work easier? If you have someone I should ask inside the company
just let me know -- if you don't reply I'll assume I need to go and ask
the Linaro member contact.

Still waiting for Nico on this one..

Tomasz, Inki: are you happy with this?
