[PATCH v2 0/4] Add Toshiba Visconti AFFINE image processing accelerator driver

[Laurent Pinchart]

Hi Yuji,

Thank you for the patch. It's nice to see contributions from Toshiba in
the image acceleration domain :-)

I'll start with a high-level question before diving into detailed
review. Why is this implemented in drivers/soc/ with a custom userspace
API, and not as a V4L2 memory-to-memory driver ?
