I'm a bit late in catching up on this...



I just needed to know what the architecture is- it's
now fairly clear that it is "don't sleep in driver top
half". 

That being said, then the change to isp should go into
5.3, yes.


One can argue whether this is the 'right' architecture
or not. I think the points being made are good- I
don't want to really debate the wisdom/unwisdom of it
at this point.
