Good data, thanks.

Yes.

I hope so.

Please test this kernel:

http://rpmdropbox.laptop.org/f20-xo4/kernel-3.5.7_xo4-20150610.0359.olpc.97336f6.armv7hl.rpm

Please also do a side by side test between two laptops, showing the
same scene for the camera.

In this new kernel the siv121c driver has been changed to support RGB
format.  Both gst-launch test cases work properly without green pixel
corrupt data.

The source code changes are in the arm-3.5 branch of the olpc-kernel
git repository:

http://dev.laptop.org/git/olpc-kernel/log/?h=arm-3.5

(Kernels for XO-1.75 and XO-1 are to follow, for where the camera is
used as a spare part.  The camera is not compatible with XO-1.5.)
