That's a blocker I'm afraid.
If: - the driver is in good shape, e. g. no coding style issues, it uses the right kAPI at the right way, etc; - the driver is based on the current media_tree.git tree; - if you're willing to be responsible during the review process; - you would provide maintainance support for the driver if bugs are reported; - the driver has a valid Signed-off-by;
then the driver is mergeable.
Media maintainers need a SoB in order to be able to review, as driver review takes a lot of time and efforts from reviewers, and the time they spend reviewing a driver prevents them to do their (paid) work.
That's said, on a very quick check, it sounds that this driver requires some work. For instance, it is based on an v4l2_subdev_pad_config, which was recently replaced upstream.
Thanks, Mauro
