The davinci_vpfe driver was merged into staging back in 2012 by Manjunath Hadli from TI, with a long TODO list. For all I can tell, since then it has only seen fixes for compile-time issues and global cleanups, but nobody has actually worked on the items on the TODO list. To make things worse, the driver in its current form is incompatible with the platform code in arch/arm/mach-davinci, i.e. the driver expects to get its platform_data passed to the device as a 'struct vpfe_config', but uses a differnet definition for that structure compared to what the platform uses. Finally, there is another driver for the same device in drivers/media/platform/davinci/vpfe_capture.c. From all I can tell, the staging version was originally a copy of a more featureful driver in TI's downstream kernels. However, that kernel no longer supports dm365 after linux-2.6.37, and the mainline version moved in a different direction.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
