Existing applications can't work with the OMAP3 ISP (and similar complex 
embedded devices) without userspace support anyway, either in the form of a 
GStreamer element or a libv4l plugin. I still believe that analog video 
standard operations should be added to the subdev pad operations and exposed 
through subdev device nodes, exactly as done with formats.
