We solved it with ugly #ifdef things in the OLPC kernel. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10137 Then we found and discussed the upstreamable solution, put the ov7670_config thing in place, and solved it for XO-1 (cafe). But for whatever reason it looks like I forgot to fix via-camera -- maybe via-camera was still in flux and non-upstream at that time.
