Another place where truncation occurs is name field in em78p153s_aver_ir_init_data ("ivtv-CX23416 EM78P153S AVerMedia"). Actual input device ends up with a name "i2c IR (ivtv-CX23416 EM78P153S ", limited by char name[32] in IR_i2c struct. IMHO actual name of resulting input device should be readable by end-user. Perhaps it should include the short name of the card itself, or model/color of remote control itself if several revisions exist, etc. -- 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
