I'm all for removing this code. And I do believe the new driver supports (almost, see 1) all features this one do. There are however two known issues with the new driver which maybe should be resolved before the old one is removed. 1. The soc-camera driver call g_std to determine video standard if field is V4L2_FIELD_INTERLACED. The new driver dose not. I'm preparing a patch which restores this functionality and hope to post it soon. 2. There is a error in the DT parsing code where of_node_put() is called twice resulting in a nice backtrace while booting if the debug config options are enabled. There is a fix for this in the Gen3 enablement series but maybe I should break it out from there and post it separately? I would like to solve issue no 1 before we remove the soc-camera driver, hopefully we can do so shortly. > > > --- > > drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/Kconfig | 10 - > > drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/Makefile | 1 - > > drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/rcar_vin.c | 1970 ----------------------- > > 3 files changed, 1981 deletions(-) > > delete mode 100644 drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/rcar_vin.c > > -- > Regards, > > Laurent Pinchart > -- Regards, Niklas Söderlund -- 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
