We will be following your work and also plan to convert IMX908 to the =0A=
Common Raw Sensor Model at the appropriate time.=0A=

Currently the IMX908 driver is SDR only. We plan to add Clear HDR3 [1] supp=
ort=0A=
in a future patch. Clear HDR3 does the image combining internally in the HW=
=0A=
and outputs one combined HDR image, reducing artifacts for moving objects.=
