Hi Ashwin,
Please consider including the original text in your replies. It helps keep the

I recently did a diff of the stock 3.0.35 kernel and Freescale latest revision
of their kernel, which is based on 3.0.35. The diff was huge - around 47 MB,
and the modifications to the source don't seem to be isolated to the typical
directories. They are all over the place.
I think that Freescale definitely went their own way when it comes to developing
capture drivers. As far as I can tell, they don't make use of soc camera or
media controller (the linuxtv stuff). You might want to start with one of the
drivers in drivers/media/video/mxc/capture and see if you can use that as a
basis for your mt9t112 driver.
