You guys are totally right.

What if I clone the original saa7113_init table into a new one, and make
the driver use the new one if the calling driver sets platform_data.

Something like this?

switch (state->ident) {
case V4L2_IDENT_SAA7111:
case V4L2_IDENT_SAA7111A:
saa711x_writeregs(sd, saa7111_init);
break;
case V4L2_IDENT_GM7113C:
case V4L2_IDENT_SAA7113:
- saa711x_writeregs(sd, saa7113_init);
+ if (client->dev.platform_data)
+ saa711x_writeregs(sd, saa7113_new_init);
+ else
+ saa711x_writeregs(sd, saa7113_init);

break;
default:
state->crystal_freq = SAA7115_FREQ_32_11_MHZ;
saa711x_writeregs(sd, saa7115_init_auto_input);
}
if (state->ident > V4L2_IDENT_SAA7111A)
saa711x_writeregs(sd, saa7115_init_misc);

if (client->dev.platform_data) {
struct saa7115_platform_data *data = client->dev.platform_data;
saa7115_load_platform_data(state, data);
}

It's not strictly necessary, but it feels a lot cleaner?
Would you accept this into the kernel, or would it just increase
maintenance?
