[PATCH 2/2] V4L/DVB: mt9v011: Added exposure for mt9v011

From: Johannes Obermaier
Date: Thu Jun 02 2011 - 11:37:41 EST


There are problems when you use this camera/sensor in a very bright room or outside. The image is completely white, because it is overexposed. The driver uses a default value which is not suitable for all environments.
This patch makes it possible to adjust the exposure time by youself. I found out by logging the i2c-data, that the windows driver for this sensor is doing this, too.
I tested the camera on a sunny day and after adjusting the exposure time, I was able to see a very good image.
