Hi Pawel,

Sorry for the late reply, I'm currently attending LinuxCon Japan, my mail
backlog is growing.

I've met with Tomi Valkeinen (TI), Alexandre Courbot (NVidia) and Tomasz Figa
(Samsung) recently, For the first time the meetings helped narrowing the
options *down*. It seems a path is slowly unfolding, and I would like to
target v3.13 for a first (possibly limited) version.

Regarding the DT bindings, Alexandre and Tomasz will look into the V4L2 DT
bindings to see whether/how they can be reused/leveraged for the CDF bindings.
In both case we need to describe a graph of connected entities, and there's
not much in the V4L2 DT bindings that is V4L2-specific in that regard.
