I think that a lot of problems come from trying to speak SMBUS to the sensor - it doesn't actually do that very well. With the via-camera driver, life got a lot better when I went to straight i2c transactions. Doing that with the cafe controller will be a little bit trickier, probably requiring the implementation of a simple bit-banging i2c driver. It's probably worth a try, though, when somebody gets a chance. Meanwhile, feel free to toss my Acked-by onto this set.
