Userspace implementations /can/ be code-reviewed (but they can't crash your machine), they /can/ be and are shipped everywhere, they /do/ auto-load when the device is inserted. And if there should be an issue with power management (is there any?), then improve the ABI and libusb can surely be improved. I don't see why a device with a userspace driver cannot be included in power management. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==--= =-== ===-- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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
