We should convert TUNER_SET_CONFIG to v4l2-subdev, in order to stop using the i2c command interface. I didn't checked, but I suspect that this is the last case of using the i2c command on v4l drivers. The removal of i2c command will probably make Jean happy as well, since this will also remove some legacy code from i2c core. > This finalizes (I hope :-) ) the v4l2-subdev conversion.

These changes are trivial, but touch on a lot of files. Please let's avoid changing the internal API again on 2.6.31. We should focus on fixing the bugs during this cycle, since the changes were far above the usual, and affected all drivers. > The other major change is that the old i2c autoprobing API is now used for > kernels < 2.6.26.

Thank you and all the others for the efforts. I expect you all to take extra care to fix all regressions that may eventually rise with those changes. In particular, please track the bugzillas at kernel.org.
