Since pixel_multiplier is already set to 0 (in case the sdvo device returns garbage) we'll correctly WARN even when get_value fails (and per chance the stack garbage in val is the right value for the pixel multiplier). -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation +41 (0) 79 365 57 48 - http://blog.ffwll.ch
