Bug Description
The image sensor driver in our kernel is not a V4L2 driver. Android uses it via its CameraService but on Linux we need to implement V4L2 functionality for it in the kernel so it is compatible with most apps.

We have prototupe V4L2 driver working on Linux for Tegra 3 which supports USB WebCam. Its hooks to the GST-V4l2 plugin and uses Gstreamer accelerated encoder plugins for Tegra. Let me know if we provide any help regarding this issue.
