I don't know any such module that could use this API. But at least there are some webcam drivers that don't seem to want to be merged (I don't know why). I agree with making life hard for proprietary modules. I agree that maintaining a stable API is hard. But I don't see the actual point of discouraging modules to stay out of tree.
