V4L/DVB: Deprecate stradis driver

2010-10-21T03:06:13+00:00

The driver author seems to not worked on this driver since its conversion from 2.2 to 2.4. Nobody is known to have a stradis hardware for testing. As it still uses V4L1 API, BKL and probably some other old stuff, someone would need to work on it to preserve the driver. Instead of investing time and efforts to keep porting it to work with new API's, it seems better to just drop the driver. So, let's move it to drivers/staging and label it to die at 2.6.38, if nobody cares enough to port parallel port support to gspca or to create a new driver that uses the same gspca-cpia sub-driver.

V4L/DVB (13556): v4l: Remove unneeded video_device::minor assignments

2009-12-16T02:17:57+00:00

Now that the video_device registration is tested using video_is_registered(), drivers don't need to initialize the video_device::minor field to -1 anymore. Remove those unneeded assignments.

V4L/DVB (13553): v4l: Use the video_is_registered function in device drivers

2009-12-16T02:17:56+00:00

Fix all device drivers to use the video_is_registered function instead of checking video_device::minor. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

headers: smp_lock.h redux

2009-07-12T19:22:34+00:00

* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!) * Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it * Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW) Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

V4L/DVB (10138): v4l2-ioctl: change to long return type to match unlocked_ioctl.

2009-01-02T19:11:34+00:00

Since internal to v4l2 the ioctl prototype is the same regardless of it being called through .ioctl or .unlocked_ioctl, we need to convert it all to the long return type of unlocked_ioctl. Thanks to Jean-Francois Moine for posting an initial patch for this and thus bringing it to our attention. Cc: Jean-Francois Moine Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (10135): v4l2: introduce v4l2_file_operations.

2009-01-02T19:11:12+00:00

Introduce a struct v4l2_file_operations for v4l2 drivers. Remove the unnecessary inode argument. Move compat32 handling (and llseek) into the v4l2-dev core: this is now handled in the v4l2 core and no longer in the drivers themselves. Note that this changeset reverts an earlier patch that changed the return type of__video_ioctl2 from int to long. This change will be reinstated later in a much improved version.

V4L/DVB (8783): v4l: add all missing video_device release callbacks

2008-10-12T11:36:54+00:00

All drivers that call video_device_register where checked to see if they set the release callback of struct video_device. Where that callback was missing it was added. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (8613): v4l: move BKL down to the driver level.

2008-10-12T11:36:47+00:00

The BKL is now moved from the video_open function in v4l2-dev.c to the various drivers. It seems about a third of the drivers already has a lock of some sort protecting the open(), another third uses video_exclusive_open (yuck!) and the last third required adding the BKL in their open function.

V4L/DVB (8523): v4l2-dev: remove unused type and type2 field from video_device

2008-07-27T14:07:10+00:00

The type and type2 fields were unused and so could be removed. Instead add a vfl_type field that contains the type of the video device. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (8434): Fix x86_64 compilation and move some macros to v4l2-ioctl.h
