I cleaned up ov5640 and moved it to drivers/media/i2c with binding docs,
but not the ov5642 yet.

Right, understood. I've added this to list of fixes for version 5.

What a pain though! It means propagating every call to g_frame_interval
upstream until a subdev "that cares" returns ret == 0 or
ret != -ENOIOCTLCMD. And that goes for any other chained subdev call
as well.

I've thought of writing something like a v4l2_chained_subdev_call()
macro to do this, but it would be a big macro.

Ok, will fix this to assign pix->colorspace to mbus->colorspace, after
all the subdevs assign colorspace values to their pads.
