Here is that original stingraytsb_v14_simple.ini file:

https://gitorious.org/omap3camera/camera-firmware?p=omap3camera:camera-firmware.git;a=tree;f=ini

Looks like are are some "non simple" stingraytsb_v14 files too, but I
have no idea which modes defines...

Sakari, any idea?
Which we should include into kernel et8ek8 kernel driver?
