And just random note: there are 4 possible uninit value bugs.

stk_start_stream() calls stk_camera_read_reg 4 times, but ignores return 
values.

stk_camera_read_reg() should have __must_check annotation and return 
value should be checked on each call.


If you have time you can take care of it :) Or I will fix it one day...
