Comment(by pgf):

 that log shows the i2c-on-gpio code starting after the camera (which
 depends on it) has failed to load.  we (i) think that making i2c-gpio
 built-in (2177b28) may fix this ordering problem.
 the i2c gpio driver uses subsys_initcall().  when it's modular, that
 becomes macro'd to module_init(), so the camera and i2c-gpio get the same
 load priority, and their calling order is dictated by link order.  if i2c-
 gpio is built-in, subsys_initcall() has higher priority than
 module_initcall(), so it will load first.

 whether this fixes all camera failures remains to be seen.
