Hi all,
I know anything about this driver. I'm still ready to maintain this, in
fact I'm doing this for years.
Why do you look for another maintainer instead of supporting my pull
request?
I did support your pull request, still do!
The reason for looking for another maintainer is that you said that it
makes no sense maintaining this driver in-tree when your ff part is not
supported. And Mauro still does not want to merge it as is, due to that
ff part of the driver.
In the long lasting discussion about this there was not a
single technical reason why this driver cannot be merged as is,
especially in staging as first step to do the required cleanup.
Regards,
Soeren

Right, but we still need a maintainer. Are you capable/willing to
volunteer for the job?
If no-one else will then yes I can, but I can't claim to know these devices
inside out. It would really depend on what's required of a maintainer, I'm
struggling to find this documented anywhere.
Cards I can't test with would really need someone to be able to add a
tested-by to verify they work.
I think that your proposal to use a stripped version of Luis Alves
repo is a no go, since it contains a couple of demod/tuner drivers
that are not upstreamed yet. That complicates the upstreaming process
too much, I think.
Oh, I would have stripped it *right* down and removed every card except
my TBS6280. The end result would probably be pretty close to Soeren's at
that point anyway, so I was starting to think like what you've done and
base it on that instead.
If you want, I can strip the driver down a lot more and ad back the
drivers you need. Just tell me what it is you need.
As above, it's really just a case of making it maintainable. If someone
can step forward and ack for them working then they could be included
but if not then I think it's best dropping them until that happens.
Jemma.
Cheers,
Tycho.
