Hello, all This is two patches that removes empty open and release functions in pci/isa radio drivers. To handle that we change v4l2-dev.c file. I'm not sure, but it's probably that small note about it should be added in docs. If i did something wrong, please correct. --- From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xxxxxxxxx> Patch allows v4l2_open and v4l2_release functions return 0 if open and release driver callbacks set to NULL. This will be used in radio drivers.
