+This is a very old driver for very old hardware (specifically
+laptops that use this sensor). In addition according to reports
+the picture quality is quite bad.
+
+This is also one of the few drivers still not using the vb2
+framework (or even the old videobuf framework!), so this driver
+is now deprecated with the intent of removing it altogether by
+the end of 2022.
+
+In order to keep this driver it has to be converted to vb2.
+If someone is interested in doing this work, then contact the
+linux-media mailinglist (https://linuxtv.org/lists.php).
