I agree we don't want to delay the removal of the legacy binding just because of these drivers. But OTOH I see little point in having a staging directory [1] if drivers being placed there break as soon as there is a core kernel change. I guess we are supposed to update these drivers as we do for all other drivers. So, ideally, someone would convert these drivers so that they do not break when legacy drivers are removed. My hope was that the author of these drivers would do it when seeing the warnings which i2c.h spits out. But if this doesn't happen, someone else will have to take care. That being said I think that there is much more work needed on these drivers, on the V4L side. Bottom line is that, is these drivers are the last ones blocking the removal of the legacy i2c driver, I will either attempt to convert them the quick-and-dirty way, or I will mark them as broken and leave it to somebody else to fix them. They will not delay us. [1] To be honest I was not really fond of the idea of a staging drivers directory in the first place anyway. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-i2c" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
