I think I've tracked down the cause. The board code is triggering a
bug in pxa_camera. The same should apply to mioa701 as well.

The offending dev_driver_str() here is the one in the dev_warn() call in
mclk_get_divisor().

This is what is happening: in struct pxacamera_platform_data I have:
	.mclk_10khz = 5000,

which makes the > test in mclk_get_divisor() succeed calling dev_warn
to report that the clock has been limited, but pcdev->soc_host.dev is
still uninitialized at this time.

I could lower the value in my platform data and avoid the bug, but it
would be good to have this fixed ASAP anyway.

The attached rough patch fixes the problem, but you will surely come
out with a better one :)

Thanks,
   Antonio

Why should I? Your patch seems correct to me so far, thanks. I'll push it 
for 2.6.31. Please, next time inline your patch as described in 
Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Thanks

Well, it should be correct, I just thought it could be considered
unpretty with the pcdev->soc_host initializations scattered here and
there, that's what I was referring to.
But, if this is ok to you, it's ok to me too :)

Ciao,

Antonio,

Would you check [1] and see if your stack does correspond to the one I reported
some time ago ? As this is fresh in your memory, you'll be far quicker that me.

Ah, and by the way, I like your patch too, agree that mioa701 is touched, and I
think it should go upstream.

Cheers.

Yes, I think that is it. The offsets are different of course but the
call stack is pretty much the same.

mclk_get_divisor uses pcdev->soc_host.dev, make sure it is initialized.
