Yes, that was Maxim with enough testers around and Matthias Schwarzott had fixes. To remind, we don't recover from suspend on DVB, needs to reload the driver once. We are also not MFE ready with mixed init calls through v4l and dvb. But yes, analog is on leading edge on that ;) Cheers, Hermann > So, yes, you're right: before any suspend/resume code on those drivers, we > first need to add some code to properly handle kernel threads and work queues > during suspend, and to restore all the registers to a sane state at resume, > before implementing IR wakeup on them. > > In the case of mceusb, as there is already an userspace code for it on lirc, > it would probably not be that hard to make this feature to work with ir-core. > > [1] Yet, none of the in-hardware decoders allow resume, AFAIK.
