Dear All,
Dear Anatolij & Stefan,

Use CONFIG_VIDEO_SM501NEW to enable the driver.
not sure if CONFIG_VIDEO_SM501NEW is a good chose here. Maybe we should use s.th. like CONFIG_VIDEO_SM50x. This applies to the file names too: sm50x.h, sm50x.c, etc. Even better would be a merge with the existing driver.
I agree with Anatolij here. A merge would definitely be best.
Before I start to implement the good suggestions, I'd like to know how such a merge would look like in your opinion.
Over the long term, I see the old driver vanishing, as it is too complicated to use (you need to be a video and SMI register expert). It is not much more than a jump into the board specific setup routines. However, removing the old driver would break half a dozen of boards (inacceptable).
BTW the driver will probably also work with the new SM107, which as no USB, Keyboard and all this stuff.
