I guess first some kind of structure overview would be needed... 
I'm not experienced in drivers porting, but it seems that issue won't be "how to simulate linux calls" but rather "how to simulate linux functionality", "what resources does the driver expect to find, what are they (v4l2, i2c, whatever)?" That's how it looks to my unexperienced eye.
