Well, I'll post patches for review by anyone who cares before committing, at least for 'big cleanup patches'. For now I'm planning to extend on the patch I have presented for the mt352 frontend to another very intergrated change (error handling) for which I will provide a patch for in the next few days. It also have fixes for a bug introduced in the last mt352 patch, which I would like to blame on the previous writereg style handling. > I vote to merge it now and require 2.6.12-r1 for CVS. I have all my cards plugged into my server, which is also the internet gateway. And I don't feel comfortable (at least not all the time) to install the latest and greatest test (release) kernel. Although I should mention that I also have another test computer with a single card in it, where I try out the budget-av driver (not connected to dish though). I'm wondering tho, should we enforce a particular kernel version in dvb-kernel cvs, or should it be targeted at a specific 'window' of kernel releases? > > > I'm wondering tho, can large cleanups that risc the driver stability be > > > committed now, since the test-time in the dvb-kernel tree will be maximized > > > before the next sync downstream? > > Yes. Do you care to tell us what you want to do before comitting? I would like to do similar cleanup to the patch to mt352 that has been presented here earlier (and also with the changes I have made to now). Since you ask I have provided my current working patch for the mt352, please note that this has only gone through parts of my check list! > BTW, I've submitted everything upstream except the flexcop rewrite (too big, > too new) and the dvb_register_adapter() API change (Gerd Knorr's > drivers need to follow that change; I have an untested patch for it). > It should appear in 2.6.12-rc1-mm2 and/or 2.6.12-rc2. > > Other stuff will not go in before 2.6.12, except small, important fixes.
