Thank you for your patch.

I must say that I'm not a fan of that this is patching 3 totally
unrelated files here in a single patch.

This is e.g. going to be a problem if we need to revert one of
the changes because of regressions...

So I would prefer this to be split into 3 patches.

One review comment for the atomisp bits inline / below.

drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/isp/kernels/s3a/s3a_1.0/ia_css_s3a.host.c

calls this with ia_css_3a_config.af_fir1_coef / .af_fir2_coef
as first argument those are of the ia_css_s0_15 type which is:

/* Signed fixed point value, 0 integer bits, 15 fractional bits */
typedef s32 ia_css_s0_15;

please replace the "short v" with "int v" 

I think that you can then also replace clamp_t() with clamp()

Regular clamp() should work here ? all parameters are already
unsigned ints.
