What do you (other users) think about having that driver in > kernel? André, First of all, the big issue why we aren't merging em28xx improvements from Markus is that he is not following the rules. For example, you said that you've contributed with Markus tree. However, on Markus pull request, I see no patch from you on his series of patches. The correct procedure would be just to forward your patch as-is, adding with his SOB bellow yours. Not doing this, he would be considered as the author of your patch. IANAL, but this doesn't seem to be right, from GPL's perspective. Probably, there are other patches there not authored by Markus that are just merged inside his big patch. About PAL-M, this always worked at the upstream driver. I have myself lots of em28xx devices, all working in colors with PAL-M, and with audio. I live in Brazil, so I always check if PAL-M is ok ;) If you want to have your device supported, just send us a patch against the upstream driver.
