Thanks, understand now. As we discussed before, correct me if I am wrong, 
this is your hobby project. PXA270 is a legacy platform, nobody except you 
is interested in this work. I have nothing against hobby projects and I 
want to support them as much as I can, but I hope you'll understand, that 
I don't have too much free time, so I cannot handle such projects with a 
high priority. I understand your desire to process these patches ASAP, 
however, I'd like to try to minimise my work too. So, I can propose the 
following: let us wait, until your PXA dmaengine patches are _indeed_ in 
the mainline. Then you test your camera patches on top of that tree again, 
perform any eventually necessary updates and either let me know, that 
either your last version is ok and I can now review it, or submit a new 
version, that _works_ on top of then current tree.

Thanks
Guennadi
