Yeah, sure. If I write such patchset[1], it will be optional, and will depend on a DT variable (or platform_data) setup that would tell what GPIO pin should be used for interrupt. Not providing it should either disable such feature or enable it via polling. [1] Please notice that I don't have any demand of doing it. Yet, I may do it for fun on my spare time:-) I added in the past an initial support for sliced VBI API on em28xx, with got reverted on changeset 1d179eeedc8cb48712bc236ec82ec6c63af42008, mainly due to the lack of such feature on tvp5150. So, such code was never tested (and likely need fixes/updates), but if I end by adding sliced VBI support on tvp5150 and on OMAP3, I may add support for it on em28xx too, using I2C poll. On such case, I'll likely add a modprobe parameter to enable such feature.
