Why do you need to do that in board code ? You can just check whether the VPIF 
capture hardware has generated an interrupt here exactly the same way as you 
do in your board code, and return IRQ_NONE if it hasn't. There's no need for 
the VPIF capture driver to be aware of the VPIF display driver (and vice 
versa).
