Hi Mauro,

I'm looking at it.
In fact, I have a first question: why there is a limit to the number of devices
the driver support? I found the same idea in easycap original
implementation, but I
can't understand why do we have to limit in such a way.

        /* Check to see next free device and mark as used */
        do {
                nr = find_first_zero_bit(&em28xx_devused, EM28XX_MAXBOARDS);
                if (nr >= EM28XX_MAXBOARDS) {
                        /* No free device slots */
                        printk(DRIVER_NAME ": Supports only %i em28xx
boards.\n",
                                        EM28XX_MAXBOARDS);
                        retval = -ENOMEM;
                        goto err_no_slot;
                }
        } while (test_and_set_bit(nr, &em28xx_devused));

I think i2c_address it is near registers 0x200/0x204, which gets
initialised at setup_stk().
I'll have a closer look.

Thanks for your comments,
