Mmm, looks like I got it all wrong: Easycap now belongs to staging/media. So easycap patches should be sent to linux-media list and using Mauro's tree (linux-media). I missed the moving patch.

As I already stated, I know the driver is buggy (it panicked to me a couple of times) and that there is plenty of room for improvement (ioctls is old styled, usb_probe() is maybe allocating buffers too soon). However, being a newbie, I'm still trying different modifications, see how they fit, how they work, etc. Besides, cleaning a bit the style and splitting functions is helping me a lot understand the code. So that's what I'm working on right now. I'm still unsure whether these patches help the maintainers in any way, but I didn't want to keep on working locally and take my branch too far from mainstream. Thanks everyone for your time, Ezequiel. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
