<take 2 this time to the new list, hoping it gets some more attention> Hi, Today it came to my attention (through a libv4l bugreport) that the uvc driver and the gspca driver handle the setting of the v4l parent for usb webcams differently. The probe function for an usb driver gets passed in a "struct usb_interface *intf" parameter. uvc sets parent to: vdev->parent = &intf->dev; gspca uses: struct usb_device *dev = interface_to_usbdev(intf); vdev.parent = &dev->dev; Looking at what for example the usb mass-storage driver does (with my multi function printer/scanner with cardreader), which matches UVC, and thinking about how this is supposed to work with multifunction devices in general, I believe the uvc driver behaviour is correct, but before writing a patch for gspca, I thought it would be good to first discuss this on the list. So what do you think ? Thanks & Regards, Hans p.s. This mainly influences what the /sys/class/video4linux/video#/device symlink will point to, which libv4l uses. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
