That something is probably the capability to accurately measure exposure in a timely fashion and adjust ISO and exposure properly.

BS. The problem is not fixed by these drivers. There would be dancing in the street if it did. What is probably happening is that on some underperforming devices, this driver accelerates the display of the live camera preview. This solves a bottleneck between the processor and the display, making preview and focusing more responsive, thus improving usability and user success rate. But the real issues are not solved, as responsiveness is still slow overall and shutter speeds are too slow for action/candid shooting, especially in low light.
I'm willing to bet that no one who reports their camera is "fixed" by this driver can do the kind of candid shooting we are expecting and lamenting the device's incapability of.
